SS215WB - 4WD AWD Systems
Which of the following statements best describes the configuration of the PTU? - Typically
positioned between the transaxle and a front half shaft; used in conjunction with an automatically
disconnect rear driveshaft/axle

A customer is wondering why their vehicle feels slow while accelerating when the Selec-Train knob is in
the Snow position. How would you respond? - The transmission may start off in 2nd gear rather
than 1st for improved traction. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the powertrain.



A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is used in place of a transfer case in which of the following drive systems? -
FWD-based 4WD/AWD



A rear-wheel drive (RWD) configuration delivers good acceleration and control for which of the following
reasons? - The rear wheels put power to the ground while the front wheels steer the vehicle.



In a rear-wheel-drive-based system, the driveshaft transfers torque from the engine and transmission to
which of the following drive system components? - Axle differential



Since there's no center differential, a part-time 4WD system is unable to do which of the following? -
Allow for different wheel speeds between the front and rear axles when cornering.



The terms "4WD" and "AWD" are sometimes used interchangeably, even when referring to the same
drive system. But there is typically a key difference between the systems. What is the distinction? -
4WD indicates an off-road-ready system with low-range gearing, whereas AWD is primarily meant
for on-road use.



What's the primary advantage of having all major drive system components located at the front of a
front-wheel-drive (FWD) configuration? - More of the engine's total weight rests over the front
wheels, providing excellent grip in low-traction conditions.



Which of the following 4WD/AWD systems cannot be driven on dry pavement when engaged? -
Part-time
