Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method is provided for controlling torque in a powertrain having an engine and a transmission capable of operating a power take-off unit. The apparatus includes: a controller selectively operable to send a power take-off unit activation request to a transmission control module within the powertrain; a transmission control module capable of receiving the power take-off unit activation request; and wherein the apparatus is configured to prevent the torque of the engine from exceeding a maximum defined torque value when the power take-off unit is in operation. The apparatus includes an engine control module capable of receiving commands from the transmission control module through a data link connecting them.
