Function

The differential lock control unit actuates the multiplate clutch of the differential lock via the differential lock actuator. When the actuator is actuated, the electronic differential lock closes.

The Hall sensor integrated into the actuator reports back the position, and the temperature sensor (also integrated) reports back the temperature of the actuator to the ESP® control unit. Via the same route, the control unit sends the locking ratio as well as the status of the actuator back to the ESP® control unit

The electric differential lock temperature sensor continuously measures the oil temperature.
