Electronic Limited Slip Differential (ELSD) System
NOTE:
Do not use the electronic limited slip differential on dry, hard surfaced roads. Doing so will produce excessive noise, vibration and increase tire wear.
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential system consists of the following components:
- Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), located at the rear differential
- Hydraulic Actuator (Plenum)
- DCMR (differential control module rear) located on the rear cross-member. Refer to: Rear Drive Axle and Differential . .
The ELSD continually manages torque distribution across the rear axle (wheel to wheel) to enhance vehicle traction during wheel slip conditions and to optimize directional stability when vehicle and road conditions allow. Refer to: Rear Drive Axle and Differential .
