Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Gauge

The Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) gauge displays the level of torque applied to each wheel in a bar graph depicted over the vehicle. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) uses 2 inputs to determine the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) gauge display. The first is the wheel torque data message sent from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The second is the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) lock torque message also sent from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

As torque is applied to the wheels, the bars in the display begin to illuminate. The lowest torque displayed is the first bar closest to the wheel. As the amount of torque increases, additional bars are illuminated outward from the wheel.
