AWD Bar Code Identification

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The AWD system on this vehicle is equipped with a bar coded active torque coupling solenoid to reduce the tolerance of electrical current to torque delivered to the active torque coupling solenoid. The active torque coupling solenoid bar code label can be found on the bottom of the Rear Drive Unit (RDU). The PCM uses this bar code information to match the clutch characteristics of the active torque coupling solenoid with the desired output torque. If the bar code information does not match the PCM information, driveline damage or driveability concerns can occur. Therefore, if the PCM needs to be replaced, the new PCM needs to be configured with the existing active torque coupling solenoid bar code information. If the rear drive axle need to be replaced, the existing PCM will need to be configured with the new active torque coupling solenoid bar code information. Carry out the AWD Drive Cycle.
