Module, Drivetrain Control (DTCM): Description

The Drivetrain Control Module (DTCM) is located behind the right rear quarter panel attached to the rear of the inner wheelhouse stamped sheet metal panel. This module communicates with the vehicle systems through the Controller Area Network (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.
