Automatic Torque Coupling (ATC)

The Automatic Torque Coupling (ATC) is integral to the Rear Drive Unit (RDU), and applies clutch pressure as controlled by the AWD relay module to increase or decrease torque to the rear wheels. The Rear Drive Unit (RDU) transfers torque from the drive shaft to the rear wheels depending on the specific request from the PCM.
