Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling. Description and operation
4WD ECU processes signals from various sensors and determines the current road
and driving conditions. The ECU then utilizes this information to implement
precision control over the 4WD coupling's multi-plate clutch and variably adjust
the amount of torque delivered tothe rear wheels.
Four Wheel Drive (4WD) transfer mode selection
|
1. |
AUTO MODE:
| –
|
When driving in 4WD AUTO mode, the vehicle operates similar
to conventional 2WD vehicles under normal operating conditions.
However, if the system determines that there is a need for the
4WD mode, the engine’s driving power is distributedto all four
wheels automatically without driver intervention.
|
| –
|
When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle moves
similar to conventional 2WD vehicles.
|
|
|
2. |
LOCK MODE:
| –
|
This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, off-road
driving, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to maximize
traction.
|
| –
|
However, binding may occur in LOCK MODE when circling and it
does not operate when the vehicle speed is over 60 km/h.
|
|
Electronic Coupling - 4WD Control (By Driving Condition)
|
1. |
Cruising (Auto Mode)
| –
|
Power is delivered mostly to the front wheels.
|
|
|
2. |
Cornering (Auto Mode)
| –
|
Adjusts the amount of power to the rear wheels based on the
turning radius and cornering speed.
|
|
|
3. |
Wheel Slip (Auto Mode)
| –
|
If one or both of the front wheels lose traction, the system
transfers an appropriate amount of power to the rear wheels
based on the slip amount at the front wheels.
|
|
|
1. |
The power is delivered in the following order:
Transmission -> Transfer -> Propeller shaft
|
|
2. |
AWD ECU calculates the necessary amount of rear-wheel torque and sends
the corresponding driving current to the actuator (electronic motor
and hydraulic pump).
|
|
3. |
The piston operates by the oil pressure and the friction is generated.
Then, the clutch is engaged.
|
|
4. |
The power is delivered to the differential by the engaged clutch and
the driving power is generated in to the rear wheel.

Direct Electro Hydraulic Actuator Coupling. Repair procedures
| •
|
All units are filled up with coupling fluid (ultra-low viscosity
ATF) prior to shipping. Inspection, fill-up, and replacement
of coupling fluid is therefore not necessary (zero maintenance,
lifetime fluid).

Maintain the coupling at a horizontal level.
| •
|
Refer to the handling caution level (A) when servicing the coupling
(removal, installation, replacement, etc.).
|
| •
|

|
• |
Smear the splines (A) with molybdenum type high pressure
grease.
|
|
• |
When install the coupling, be careful not to damage
the oil seal (B).
|
|
|
|
2. |
After replacing the coupling, reset the 4WD ECU's clutch learing using
the diagnostic tool.
(Refer to 4WD Control System - "Repair procedures")
|
Oil hydraulic Motor(Actuator). Description and operation
The 4WD ECM controls the Pump Motor Pump (Actuator) to generating an oil pressure.
The pressure engages a multiple disk clutch to transfer torque to the rear wheels.
The torque to the rear wheels varies according to the pressure on the clutch.
