Identifying BorgWarner Transfer Cases

We have assembled here an identification guide for the current-production models of BorgWarner transfer cases, which will include a number of models that are not sold in the United States. Since we now have a global economy and Transmission Digest is read by technicians around the world, it is necessary to try to help our brothers in other countries to identify the complete line of transfer cases.

One of the greatest challenges to everyone in our business is the huge increase in the number of models and drivetrains. This tremendous proliferation of units and parts has changed our industry dramatically from both the shop and supplier perspectives.

The shop has an infinite variety of different models to understand and repair, and both suppliers and shops have had to endure massive changes in the levels of inventory they keep on hand. This makes the identification of what you are working on a critical issue. To diagnose and repair we have to know exactly which model of transmission, transfer case or differential we are dealing with.
Add to that the fact that there are subtle design changes even within one model year that can require different schematics or parts and that wear and tear on the unit may have eliminated the factory ID tags or labels, and we are all in the detection business before we can even start to diagnose or repair the vehicle.

We have assembled here an identification guide for the current-production models of BorgWarner transfer cases, which will include a number of models that are not sold in the United States. Since we now have a global economy and Transmission Digest is read by technicians around the world, it is necessary to try to help our brothers in other countries to identify the complete line of transfer cases.

MP3023 T-Case: Simple Mechanics, Complex Electronics

The MP3023 is an active automatic transfer case that is found in a wide variety of vehicles. This unit will be found in GM trucks 2007-13, Jeep Grand Cherokees 2011-19, and in Dodge Durangos 2010-up. We will be discussing the Jeep version here, which has very sophisticated control electronics. The transfer cases are basically all the same across the product line, but there are considerable variations in the electronics, which will make diagnostics outside of the transfer case a learning experience.

Simple Routines Can Leat To Solutions

For whatever reason, the tech lines get an inordinate number of calls regarding a few specific is-sues. That such a high volume of calls is generated by just a few problems leads to the belief that we need to revisit and speak about the lack of understanding by the tech-nician that leads to all this wasted time and phone traffic, as well as failure to get the job right the first time. Let’s start out the year by get-ting to the nitty-gritty of why cer-tain issues seem to confuse so many people.

Tires Vastly Improved, but Check the Specs

The advancement of technology in the automotive field is rapid and unrelenting.

Are We Speaking the Same Language?

If you are repairing transmissions for a living, you will invariably spend some time on the phone ordering parts and speaking with technical hotlines to assist in your diagnosis of problems. Having been on both ends of a tech line for over half a century and an equal amount of time buying parts, I have learned a whole new language. To be successful communicating with those entities, one must understand the language and be speaking about the same correct topic with whoever is on the other end of the conversation.

Electronics In Dual Clutch Units

This article is the final segment of our exploration of the dual-clutch transmission, or direct shift gear box (VW and Audi) or DualTronic in BorgWarner’s brand. We have included several schematics from a VW Touran model, as VW has the largest amount of these transmissions in use. VW using its VAS 5051 diagnostic system provides for, as they say, “guided fault finding,” which means that a test schedule is available for the unit and provides testing for sensors, actuators and the mechatronic (computerized) valve body.

Hydraulic & Fluid Controls in Dual-Clutch Units

To recap, we have looked at how the dual-clutch transmission functions, essentially two gear boxes in one with the input shafts driven by hydraulically applied clutch packs that drive three concentric shafts that are one inside the other. The innermost shaft drives a gerotor-type of fluid pump that provides pressurized fluid to actuate the dual clutches, lubricate and cool the components, and shift the transmission into the selected gear. The next two shafts are driven by the two clutch packs with one shaft shifting the even-number gears and one shifting the odd-numbered gears.

Controls Make Shifts Happen in Milliseconds

If you have been following the previous chapters of this series of articles, you are starting to understand the function of dual-clutch transmissions. We have used illustrations from the VW Direct Shift Gear Box (DSG) as VW has about 2 million of these units on the road at present.
