DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 11/01/2013

Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems

Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) System

The Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) system consists of the following components:

z Mode Select Switch (MSS), located on the instrument panel


z Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM), located near the passenger kick panel
z Integrated Wheel End (IWE) solenoid, located in left rear of the engine compartment
z Integrated Wheel Ends (IWEs), located at each front wheel hub
z Transfer case assembly (includes shift motor and synchronization clutch)

cardiagn.com
Vehicles equipped with an ESOF system allow the operator to choose between 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) (2H)
and 2 different Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) modes. The transfer case is shifted electronically based on the
MSS position. Under normal driving conditions, the transfer case is in 2WD (2H), but when desired, the
operator may shift into 4WD high (4H) or 4WD low (4L). The operator can shift between 2WD (2H) and 4WD
high (4H) at any speed. When shifting into or out of 4WD low (4L) range, the TCCM requires that the vehicle
speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph) and the transmission in NEUTRAL.

The transfer case is equipped with an electronically controlled clutch which is located inside the case. This
clutch is used to synchronize the speed of the front driveline with the rear driveline during 2WD (2H) to 4WD
high (4H) shifts.

2-Speed Torque-On-Demand

The 2-speed torque-on-demand system consists of the following components:

z MSS , located on the instrument panel


z TCCM , located near the passenger kick panel
z IWE solenoid, located in left rear of the engine compartment
z IWEs , located at each front wheel hub
z Transfer case assembly (includes shift motor and synchronization clutch)

Vehicles equipped with the 2-speed torque-on-demand system allow the operator to choose between 2WD
and 3 different 4WD modes. The transfer case is shifted electronically based on the MSS position. Under
normal driving conditions, the unit is in 2WD (2H), but when desired, the operator may shift into 4WD AUTO
(4A), 4WD high (4H), or 4WD low (4L). When shifting into or out of 4WD (4L) range, the TCCM requires that
the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL.

The transfer case is equipped with an electronically controlled clutch which is located inside the case. This
clutch is used to synchronize the speed of the front driveline with the rear driveline during 2WD (2H) to 4WD
high (4H) or 4WD AUTO (4A) shifts. The clutch also provides torque to the front driveline in all 4WD modes.

Integrated Wheel End (IWE) System

The IWE system consists of the following components:

cardiagn.com
1 IWEs (spring-loaded vacuum hubs)
2 Vacuum hoses
3 IWE solenoid
4 Vacuum reservoir

The IWE system, used on ESOF and 2-speed torque-on-demand equipped vehicles, uses vacuum hubs that
engage or disengage the front wheel hubs from the front halfshafts.

The IWE solenoid receives engine vacuum from the vacuum reservoir. When the 4WD system is in 2H
mode, the TCCM supplies a ground path to the IWE solenoid to apply vacuum to the IWEs (disengaging the
front hubs from the front halfshafts). When operating in any 4x4 mode, the TCCM does not supply the
ground path to the IWE solenoid, vacuum is not applied to the IWEs and an internal spring keeps the front
hubs engaged to the front halfshafts. Vehicles equipped with a 3.5L engine are also equipped with an
electrically-driven brake booster vacuum pump located behind the LH headlamp assembly. For additional
information, refer to Section 206-07 . As a first step in service, eliminate obvious items such as loose wiring
connections, loose vacuum connections or damaged vacuum lines.

Electronic Locking Differential (ELD) System

The Electronic Locking Differential (ELD) system consists of the following components:

z ELD field coil, located at the rear differential

SE287A02.HTM~gen~ref.H... 2014-03-02
2014 F-150 Workshop Manual Page 3 sur 4

z Rear differential
z MSS (unique for ELD equipped vehicles, the ELD switch is integrated with the MSS ), located on
instrument panel

The optional ELD system, allows the operator to lock the rear differential side gears on slippery and/or off
road surfaces. ELD operation is requested by pulling out on the MSS on 4X4 equipped vehicles, and by
rotating the switch from OFF to ON on 4x2 vehicles.

Off-Road Mode

NOTE: Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road driving conditions and should never be used on
pavement.

The SVT Raptor comes equipped with a special off-road function. An off-road button is located on the floor
console. A light on the button illuminates when this feature is activated.

The off-road function consists of the following components:

cardiagn.com
z Off-road mode switch
z TCCM

Off-road mode affects 4 vehicle functions:

z It allows unique transmission shifting that optimizes off-road performance.


z Off-road mode provides optimized throttle response tailored for off-road performance driving.
z When off-road mode is engaged, the standard vehicle speed thresholds for the ELD are lifted.
z When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac settings are altered for optimized off-road
performance.

Neutral Flat Tow

NOTICE: 2WD vehicles cannot be towed with any wheels on the ground as vehicle or transmission
damage may occur.

NOTICE: Failing to put the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position will damage vehicle components.

Vehicles equipped with a Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system have neutral flat tow software in the TCCM .
Following the neutral flat tow activation procedure commands the transfer case shift motor into a neutral
position. Locking the transfer case in neutral will prevent damage to the transmission while towing a 4WD
vehicle on all 4 wheels (such as when being towed behind a motorhome).

Principles of Operation

Electronic Locking Differential (ELD) System

The ELD system allows the operator to lock the rear differential side gears. When the ELD is engaged both
rear wheels turn at the same speed, providing added traction on slippery and/or off road surfaces. The
operator can engage the ELD per the charts below:

ELD Engagement Speeds — 4WD Vehicles

On 31 km/h (19 mph) a 42 km/h (25 mph) 31 km/h (19 mph) a


a The ELD system engages/re-engages at or below the speed noted.

When the operator activates the ELD , the ELD icon displays in the IPC message center. If the vehicle is
driven above the disengage speed, the IPC message center no longer displays the ELD icon, alerting the
operator that the ELD is disengaged. Once the vehicle drops below the re-engage speed, the IPC message
center displays the ELD icon again. If there is a malfunction with the ELD system, a "CHECK LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL" message is displayed in the IPC message center, letting the operator know the ELD is not
engaged.

The differential locks when a PWM controlled magnetic field coil located inside the differential energizes. A
collar within the differential moves toward a differential side gear and engages a dog clutch within the
differential. This locks the differential side gears and creates the locked differential.

The TCCM activates the ELD . When the ELD is engaged, the TCCM sends PWM voltage to the ELD field
coil located in the differential. This voltage is initially 98% duty cycle, and then tapers off to 40% duty cycle
after 30 seconds. In order for the TCCM to activate the ELD , certain conditions must be met.

Normal Operation

When the MSS is engaged to lock the rear differential, a PWM signal is sent to the ELD field coil by the
TCCM through the differential lock control circuit. This PWM signal is initially 98% duty cycle to lock the
differential and decreases to 40% duty cycle once the differential is locked. If the differential does not lock,
the TCCM continues to send the signal for a set amount of time. Once the differential is locked, the indicator
will illuminate steady.

z DTC P185A:00 (Differential Lock-Up Input Switch Circuit High: No Sub Type Information) — When
not in locking mode, the TCCM C2371A pin 15 senses whether the ELD mode switch circuit has high
voltage and if the differential is always engaged. This DTC will not set unless the MSS is set to 2H or
OFF. If the ELD is functioning normally, the differential will immediately lock when the MSS is
activated and the ELD operating conditions are qualified. This DTC will only display during the self-
test function.

differential and decreases to 40% duty cycle once the differential is locked. When the differential is fully
locked, the indicator will illuminate steady.

z DTC P185C:00 (Differential Lock-Up Indicator Circuit High: No Sub Type Information) — When the

Normal Operation

When the MSS is engaged to lock the rear differential, a PWM signal is sent to the ELD field coil by the
TCCM through the differential lock control circuit. This PWM signal is initially 98% duty cycle to lock the
differential and decreases to 40% duty cycle once the differential is locked. If the differential does not lock,
the TCCM continues to send the signal for a set amount of time. Once the differential is locked, the indicator
will illuminate steady.

z DTC P185D:00 (Differential Lock-up Control Circuit Performance: No Sub Type Information) — The

Principles of Operation

The 2-speed torque-on-demand system is an automatic electronic-shift system that allows the operator to
choose between 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) and 3 different Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) modes. The operator can
switch between 2WD (2H) mode, 4X4 AUTO (4A) mode or 4X4 (4H) mode at any speed or at a stop. To
engage or disengage 4X4 LOW (4L) mode, the vehicle speed must be less than 5 km/h (3 mph) and the
transmission must be in NEUTRAL.

Wheel slip is sensed by monitoring the average front and rear wheel speeds. Based on steering wheel
angle, Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) and wheel slip, a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signal is
transmitted to the transfer case as torque is required.

The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) will provide the ABS with current clutch duty cycle and whether
or not ABS may command the clutch duty cycle.

The brake subsystem sends the following information signals to the 4WD system over the High Speed

The APP output signal is provided to the TCCM from the PCM. This signal is used by the TCCM in
controlling the transfer case clutch.

The shift motor sense plate, an integral part of the shift motor assembly, informs the TCCM of the transfer
case position.

The electric shift motor is mounted externally to the transfer case. It drives a rotary cam which moves the
range fork within the transfer case between the HIGH range (2H, 4A and 4H) and LOW range (4L) positions.
The shift motor only moves during a shift to/from 4L on the 2 speed torque on demand system; it
does not move during any other mode shift.

The TCCM sends a duty cycle command to the clutch coil which activates the clutch within the transfer case.

The TCCM varies the torque sent to the front driveline by controlling the transfer case clutch. At rest and
under cruising conditions, the TCCM activates the transfer case clutch a minimum duty cycle (percentage of
time the clutch is turned on), which allows for the slight difference between the front and rear driveshafts
which normally occurs when negotiating a corner on dry pavement. Under any of the following conditions,
the TCCM will increase the duty cycle in order to prevent or control slip:

Normal Operation

In 2H mode, the TCCM supplies a ground path to the IWE solenoid to apply vacuum to the IWEs
(disengaging the front hubs from the front axle). In AUTO, 4H and 4L modes, the TCCM does not supply the
ground path to the IWE solenoid, vacuum is not applied to the IWEs and an internal spring keeps the hubs
engaged. Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs at the TCCM , internal components of the
transfer case, MSS , IWE components and drive axles.

cardiagn.com
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The high-low shift occurs when the reduction shift fork moves the high-low collar to lock the planetary gear
set to the output shaft. The torque transmitted through the sun gear from the input shaft turns the front
planetary gear set assembly. The front planetary gear set assembly, now engaged, provides transfer case
speed reduction. Certain criteria, such as vehicle speed and TR selection must be met before this shift can
occur. Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs of the TCCM , components of the transfer
case, IWE components and halfshafts.

Pinpoint Test Q: Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Does Not Engage at Speed Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

When the operator selects a transfer case mode from 2H mode, the TCCM engages a clutch for
approximately 5 seconds to synchronize the front and rear driveshafts allowing a mechanical engagement of
the transfer case. The TCCM also removes the ground path from the IWE solenoid, which removes vacuum
from the IWEs , allowing them to engage the front axle shaft. Systematically check the necessary inputs and
outputs at the TCCM , internal components of the transfer case, IWE components and drive axles.

z DTC P1825:00 (4-Wheel Drive Clutch Relay Open Circuit: No Sub Type Information) — Fault sets
when TCCM C2371B pin 1 detects an open circuit. The TCCM disables transfer case synchronization

z DTC P1826:00 (4-Wheel Drive Low Clutch Relay Circuit To Battery: No Sub Type Information) —
Fault sets when TCCM C2371B pin 1 detects a short to voltage. Transfer case synchronization clutch
operation, though disabled by the TCCM , is fully engaged when this DTC is present.

Normal Operation

In 2H mode, the TCCM provides a ground path to the IWE solenoid to supply vacuum to each IWE
(disengaging the front hubs from the front axle). During certain conditions such as WOT maneuvers,
manifold vacuum is lower than desired. To maintain uninterrupted IWE function in 2H, stored engine vacuum
is sourced from the vacuum reservoir. A one-way check valve is implemented between the vacuum reservoir
and the IWE solenoid to prevent the stored vacuum from escaping into the manifold during low engine
vacuum conditions. For noise-free IWE operation under all conditions, the check valve must be operating
correctly.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:


z Vacuum leaks
z Vacuum check valve
z Vacuum reservoir

Principles of Operation

The Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly (ESOF) system has 3 modes of operation: 2H (4X2), 4H (4X4 HIGH) and 4L
(4X4 LOW). Integrated Wheel Ends (IWEs) are used at each front wheel to reduce rolling resistance when
2H is selected. The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) sends a duty cycle command to the
synchronization coil which activates the clutch within the transfer case. Refer to Section 308-07B .

Engagement and disengagement of the front wheels is done by the IWEs . The IWEs are normally engaged
(no vacuum). Vacuum is supplied to the IWEs by actuation of the IWE solenoid when commanded by the
TCCM . When actuated, the IWE solenoid allows manifold vacuum to pass through to each IWE . The IWEs
disengage and allow the front wheel hubs to be turned freely from the front axle.

The electric shift motor is mounted externally to the transfer case. It drives a rotary cam which moves the 2
shift forks in the transfer case to change between the 2H and 4H modes and between the 4H and 4L modes.
For information on transfer case mechanical operation, refer to Section 308-07B . The TCCM directly
controls the electric shift motor and can reverse motor polarity to reverse rotary cam/shift fork direction. The
shift motor sense plate, an integral part of the shift motor assembly, informs the TCCM of the transfer case
position.

SE287A03.HTM~gen~ref.H... 2014-03-02
2014 F-150 Workshop Manual Page 2 sur 54

The transfer case is equipped with an electronically controlled clutch which is located inside the case. This
clutch is used to synchronize the speed of the front driveline with the rear driveline during 2H to 4H shifts.
When the Mode Select Switch (MSS) is switched between 2H and 4H modes, the TCCM energizes the
synchronization clutch. When the transfer case front and rear output shafts are synchronized, the spring-
loaded lockup collar mechanically engages (4H) or disengages (2H) the mainshaft hub to the drive sprocket.
Finally, the front axle IWEs are engaged (4H) or disengaged (2H) and the synchronization clutch is
deactivated.

Shifts from 2H mode to 4H mode can be made at any speed. The synchronization clutch is applied to
equalize output shaft speeds before 4H mode is engaged. The following are the inputs and outputs needed
by the TCCM to execute a change between these modes.

Feature inputs:

z Ambient air temperature from the PCM


z MSS
z Wheel speed signal from ABS module
z APP from PCM
z Transfer case shift motor contact plate position inputs A, B, C and D

cardiagn.com
Feature outputs:

z Transfer case electric shift motor outputs


z PWM signal to transfer case clutch
z 4WD message center and indicators

When shifting into or out of 4L mode, the TCCM requires the vehicle speed to be less than 5 km/h (3 mph)
and the transmission in NEUTRAL. The following are the inputs and outputs needed by the TCCM to
execute a change into or out of 4L mode.

Feature inputs:

z MSS
z Wheel speed signal from ABS module
z TR position from PCM
z Transfer case shift motor contact plate position inputs A, B, C and D

Feature outputs:

Off-Road Mode

NOTE: Off-road mode is specifically calibrated for off-road driving conditions and should never be used on
pavement.

The SVT Raptor comes equipped with a special off-road function. An off-road button is located on the floor
console. A light on the button will illuminate when this feature is activated.

SE287A03.HTM~gen~ref.H... 2014-03-02
2014 F-150 Workshop Manual Page 3 sur 54

Off-road mode affects 4 vehicle functions:

z It allows unique transmission shifting that optimizes off-road performance. Off-road mode shifting
differs from standard on-road shifting in several ways:
„ Transmission upshifts are delayed and occur less frequently. This ensures the best possible
vehicle response and acceleration if the driver needs to briefly lift off the throttle to negotiate an
obstacle or corner.
„ Transmission downshifts occur more quickly improving vehicle response.
„ Sixth gear (overdrive) will not engage. This prevents engine lugging (6.2L equipped vehicles
only).
z Off-road mode provides optimized throttle response tailored for off-road performance driving.
z When off-road mode is engaged, the standard vehicle speed thresholds for the ELD are lifted and the
ELD will remain locked until the operator manually disengages it with the control knob. If the operator
disengages off-road mode and exceeds the standard ELD speed thresholds, the ELD will disengage.
z When off-road mode is engaged, the AdvanceTrac settings are altered for optimized off-road
performance.

To engage off-road mode, slow the vehicle to a speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or less. Release the accelerator
pedal then press and release the off-road mode button. The message center will display OFF ROAD MODE

cardiagn.com
ENABLED once off-road mode has been enabled. If any of the above conditions are not met, off-road mode
will not enable and the message center will display information guiding the driver through the proper off-road
mode enabling procedures. To disable off-road mode, press and release the off-road mode button. The
message center will display EXITING OFF ROAD MODE.

The operator can engage the ELD per the following table:

Switch Position Engage Disengage Re-engage


2H (off-road off) a 31 km/h (19 mph) 42 km/h (25 mph) 31 km/h (19 mph) a
2H (off-road on) unlimited unlimited unlimited
4H (off-road on) unlimited unlimited unlimited
4L (off-road on) unlimited unlimited unlimited
a The 4WD system engages/re-engages at or below the speed noted.

Pinpoint Test A: The 4WD Indicators Do Not Operate Correctly

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four Wheel Drive System for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

Indicator status of the 4WD system is transmitted to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) from the TCCM
through the HS-CAN then displayed in the message center of the IPC . The message center displays 4X4
HIGH when in 4H and 4X4 LOW in 4L. When in 2H, the message center will display 4X2 for approximately 4
seconds then no longer provides 4WD system indication until another shift mode is attained. For information
about HS-CAN , refer to Section 418-00 .

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Heard During 4WD Engagement at High Speeds

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

The MSS communicates the operator's choice to the TCCM . The TCCM then controls the transfer case
synchronization clutch, transfer case motor and IWEs as necessary. If the vehicle is not responding to the
operator's intentions, systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs of the TCCM , components of
the transfer case, IWE components and halfshafts. Check all circuits for opens and shorts to power or
ground.

Normal Operation

The high-low shift occurs when the reduction shift fork moves the high-low collar to lock the planetary gear
set to the output shaft. The torque transmitted through the sun gear from the input shaft turns the front
planetary gear set assembly. The front planetary gear set assembly, now engaged, provides transfer case
speed reduction. Certain criteria, such as vehicle speed and TR selection must be met before this shift can
occur. Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs of the TCCM , components of the transfer

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.

Locator views for the vacuum lines and vacuum reservoir are located in Description and Operation. Refer to
Section 308-07A .

Normal Operation

In 2H mode, the TCCM provides a ground path to the IWE solenoid to supply vacuum to each IWE
(disengaging the front hubs from the front axle). During certain conditions such as WOT maneuvers,

SE287A03.HTM~gen~ref.H... 2014-03-02
2014 F-150 Workshop Manual Page 36 sur 54

manifold vacuum is lower than desired. To maintain uninterrupted IWE function in 2H mode, stored engine
vacuum is sourced from the vacuum reservoir. A one-way check valve is implemented between the manifold
and IWE solenoid/vacuum reservoir to prevent the stored vacuum from escaping into the manifold during
low engine vacuum conditions. For noise-free IWE operation under all conditions, the check valve must be
operating correctly.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

Pinpoint Test G: The 4WD Does Not Engage at Speed Correctly

cardiagn.com
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation

When the operator selects a transfer case mode from 2H mode, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
engages the synchronization clutch for approximately 5 seconds to synchronize the front and rear
driveshafts allowing a further mechanical engagement of the transfer case. The TCCM also removes the
ground path from the IWE solenoid, which removes vacuum from the IWEs , allowing them to engage.
Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs at the TCCM , internal components of the transfer
case, IWE components and drive axles.
