Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Gauge

The 4WD  gauge displays the level of torque applied to each wheel in a bar graph depicted over the vehicle. The IPC uses 2 inputs to determine the 4WD  gauge display. The first is the wheel torque data message sent from the PCM. The second is the 4WD  lock torque message also sent from the 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.
