Abstract

See full text

The application aims at determining the locked or unlocked state of a differential (10). According to a first aspect, the determination is carried out on basis of a speed difference of output shafts (16, 18) using speed sensors (36, 38). Steering angle may be used as further input. In a second aspect, a sensing system (70) senses actuating pressure, voltage or current of an actuating mechanism (44). In a third aspect, the first and second aspects can be combined.
