Search Coil Detection System

As the clutch discs wear, the air gap between the pressure guides and the multi-plate clutches decrease. The decrease in air gap changes the magnetic field generated by the main coil and the yoke. The search coil detects these changes in the magnetic field. The SH-AWD control unit uses predetermined maps to compensate for the changes to maintain precise control and smooth clutch engagement.
