Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Normal Control
During normal driving, connecting force of multi-plate clutch (LSD) is determined from the calculation results of the following controls:
- Torque sensitive control
Calculates connecting force of LSD according to torque input to the transfer.
- Control for turning
Calculates reduction in connecting force of LSD based on the steering angle and vehicle speed.
This function improves turning performance within the specific vehicle speed range.
- Control for slip
When the front or rear tires begin to slip, calculates the increase in connecting force of LSD according to the amount and time of the slip.
This function maintains road contact, improving drivability.
