2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TOD system means the full time 4WD system and the registered trade mark of Borg Warner.
TOD is an abbreviation of Torque On Demand.
TOD (Torque On Demand) system, which is superior than existing Full Time 4WD, checks the
road surface and vehicle conditions via various sensors and, subsequently, according to the
situations and conditions, distributes the most optimal driving force to front wheels and rea
r
wheels by activating the electro-magnetic clutch located inside of TOD Transfer Case.
TOD receives the speed signals from speed sensors installed in front axle and rear axle, the
TPS signals from engine, and the operating signals from ABS control unit via CAN.
Based on these data, TOD control unit controls the electro-magnetic clutch to distribute the
3:97 ~ 44:56 of driving force to front wheels and rear wheels.
The conventional system uses “FR driving” (theoretically, the 100 % of driving force is
transferred to rear wheels) on normal paved road.
When the system detects a slip in the rear wheels, a proper percentage of driving force is
transferred to front wheels.
TOD control unit receives the wheel speed signals from the speed sensors in propeller shaft o
f
transfer case and engine output information from the engine control unit.
TOD control unit changes the pressure force of the electromagnetic clutch based on the
analyzed data.
1) Distribution of Driving Force According to Road Surface
On normal road surface ▶
In vehicle with existing part time transfer case, when a driver turns the steering wheel to park in
the 4WD mode, the vehicle may halt sensation of tight corner braking phenomena. However, in
vehicle with TOD system, this phenomena does not occur and the driving force is properly and
automatically distributed.
On paved road with high speed ▶
Driving at high speed on roads such as highway mainly uses rear wheels as driving wheel.
At this moment, some of torques is also distributed to front wheels so that the vehicle could
maintain safe ground grab capacity against side winds and rain.
Distribution ratio: 15 % for front wheels and 85% for rear wheels.

2) Transfer Case
(1) Planetary gear set
Planetary Gear set consists of sun gear, ring gear and carrier. It is engaged with the gear in
“HIGH-LOW” collar to increase the driving force by reducing vehicle speed.
Sun gear is connected to input shaft and ring gear is fixed into the transfer case.
Splined rear output shaft is able to slide on the “HIGH - LOW” collar.
The inside and outside ends of “HIGH - LOW” collar have machined gear. The input
shaft transmits the power to driving wheels by engaging with sun gear and carrier gear.
If the 4WD switch is at “4WD HIGH”, the TOD control unit operates the shift motor to
engage “HIGH - LOW” collar directly with input shaft for transmitting the driving force
to front and rear propeller shafts.
When a driver selects “4WD LOW”, the TOD control unit controls the electro-magnetic
clutch and operates the shift motor to engage “HIGH - LOW” collar with carrier.
The power from transmission is increased up to 2.48:1 by reduction ratio from planetary
gear, and then is sent to front and rear propeller shafts. null
(2) Ball type slant cam and clutch
disc pack
If the speed sensors installed on front and
rear propeller shafts detect the slips at front
and rear wheels, and these slips exceed
the specified range, TOD control unit
controls electromagnetic clutch to transmit
driving force to front wheels.
At this time, ball slant cam is moved to
compress multi-disc located in clutch disc to
transmit driving force to front wheels.

(3) Electro Magnetic Clutch (EMC)
EMC consists of coil and housing. TOD control unit controls EMC by controlling duty cycle
according to the road and driving conditions. These controls use the continuity time and amount
of electric current to determine the torque to be transmitted to front wheels.
