Module, Drivetrain Control (DTCM): Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Drivetrain Control Module (DTCM) is located in the right rear corner of the vehicle, under the rear sill plate. It communicates with the vehicle systems through the CAN bus to optimize the performance of the vehicles All Wheel Drive (AWD) functionality.

The AWD system incorporates driveline (rear axle) disconnect technology, anticipator launch capability, and infinitely variable torque (e.g. front/rear torque split) and optimizes traction on all surfaces, and in all dynamic scenarios.
