Control-Track Function

Control-Track Function

The Control-Track transfer case uses an electromechanical clutch assembly to control the torque to the front wheels. In Auto mode, while at rest and under cruising conditions, the 4WD control module activates the transfer case clutch at a minimum level. This allows for the slight difference between the front and rear driveshafts which occurs normally when negotiating a corner on dry pavement. Under any of the following conditions, the 4WD control module will increase the torque sent through the clutch to the front wheels in order to prevent or control slip.

Slip is detected by monitoring the front and rear OSS sensors in the transfer case or when slip is indicated by the stability assist module.
