SMJ....is this system in all R51 pathfinders??...i have an 08' V6 and as i understand it has open diffs ie no LSD and/or mech locking....but what i have noticed when two wheels at opposite ends loose traction...even at 4LO....no kind of locking seems to happen or as i understand, brakes locking the affected/offending wheel and letting power to go to the other wheel...below is one example of two wheels at opposite ends lost traction and they just kept spinning like circus plates even with foot off the gas...smj999smj wrote:The Nissan uses an electronic limited slip, which basically means it uses the ABS/TCS system to create a limited-slip diff affect in lieu of a mechanical LSD.
Well, AFAIK there must be some constant sleep/wheel spinning present for "electronic locker" to kick in. Below predefined speed (I think it is 8 km/h...could be wrong!) VDC aka electronic locker does not play a role, because wheel turning speed does not differ enough. Remember, when turning at full the inner wheels have quite a different speed as outer wheels, because outer wheel curve is larger than inner circle.patomwazi wrote:...i have an 08' V6 and as i understand it has open diffs ie no LSD and/or mech locking....but what i have noticed when two wheels at opposite ends loose traction...even at 4LO....no kind of locking seems to happen or as i understand, brakes locking the affected/offending wheel and letting power to go to the other wheel...below is one example of two wheels at opposite ends lost traction and they just kept spinning like circus plates even with foot off the gas...
