ABSTRACT:
A method of transitioning between modes of differentiation in a differential includes measuring a vehicle parameter, determining a mode of differentiation, selectively providing an electrical signal to an electromagnet based on the determination, generating a magnetic field, moving the electromagnet and selectively operating the differential in one of an open mode of differentiation and a locked mode of differentiation in response to movement of the electromagnet.
