2-Speed Torque-On-Demand Transfer Case
The 2-speed torque-on-demand system consists of the following components:
- 4x4 Switch Module
- Drive Mode Select Module
- TCCM (located near the passenger kick panel)
- IWE (integrated wheel end) solenoid (located on cowl near brake booster)
- (2) IWE vacuum actuators (one on each front hub)
- (2) IWE clutch rings (one on each front hub)
- 4WD mode indicators and messages in the IPC message center
- Transfer case with shift motor and high capacity clutch
Vehicles equipped with the 2-speed torque-on-demand system can operate in 2WD (2H), 4WD AUTO (4A), 4WD High (4H), or 4WD low (4L). 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 NEUTRAL.
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 4x4 Switch Module input or 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.
