Abstract
A system is described, as well as methods of using the system. The method includes: determining an error within the vehicle driveline system; following the error, determining that a state of a power take-off unit (PTU) within the system is determinable; and then transferring a normal torque from the PTU to a secondary drive unit (SDU) during the error.
Claims21
A method for controlling a vehicle driveline system, comprising:
- determining an error within the system;
- following the error, determining that a state of a power take-off unit (PTU) within the system is determinable;
- and then
- transferring a normal torque from the PTU to a secondary drive unit (SDU) during the error.

A system for controlling a vehicle driveline, comprising:
- a computer, comprising a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising, to:
- determine an error within the system;
- and
- following the error, when a state of a power take-off unit (PTU) is determinable, then transfer a normal torque from the PTU to a secondary drive unit (SDU) during the error.

A vehicle driveline system, comprising:
- a secondary drive unit (SDU);
- and
- a computer, comprising a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the instructions comprising, to:
- determine an origin of an error in the vehicle driveline system;
- when the origin of the error occurs in a power take-off unit (PTU), then determine that a state of the PTU is determinable;
- and
- when the state of the PTU is determinable, then transfer a normal torque from the PTU to the SDU during the error.
