Torque-On-Demand Four Wheel Drive System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The torque-on-demand system consists of the following components:

ATCM

TCCM

4WD mode indicators and messages in the IPC message center

Transfer case with high capacity clutch

The transfer case is equipped with an electronically controlled high capacity clutch which is located inside the transfer case. The clutch provides torque to the front driveline in all 4WD modes.

The transfer case is shifted electronically based on the selected drive mode.

Selectable Drive Modes allows the operator to select different drive modes. Each mode will select the appropriate transfer case mode for the terrain. Once the drive mode is selected and appropriate transfer case state is achieved, operator can manually shift to a different transfer case state if desired.

Vehicles equipped with the 1-speed torque-on-demand system can operate in 2WD (2H), 4WD High (4H) or 4WD AUTO (4A).

The transfer case for the 2-speed torque-on-demand system also includes a shift motor and reduction gearset.

2-speed systems can operate in 2WD (2H), 4WD AUTO (4A), 4WD High (4H), 4WD low (4L) or Neutral. When shifting into or out of 4WD (4L) range, the TCCM requires that the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph) and the transmission is in N.
