1. A vehicle comprising:
a torque generating system configured to generate torque through a driveline;
a transmission;
a transfer case;
an accelerator position sensor configured to generate an accelerator pedal voltage signal indicative of a position of an accelerator pedal;
an electronic parking brake (EPB); and
a torque control system programmed to:
determine the EPB is engaged;
determine a gear of the transmission is in Drive or Reverse;
determine if the transfer case is in a four-wheel-drive low (4LO) gear; and
apply a predetermined limit to the accelerator pedal voltage signal to thereby apply a torque limit to the torque generating system to protect the driveline while the EPB is engaged.
