ABSTRACT:
An axle assembly includes a housing having first and second shafts rotatably positioned in the housing. A power transfer mechanism is also positioned in the housing and selectively operable to transmit rotary power between the first and second shafts. An actuator is operable to move a linearly moveable member of the power transfer mechanism. A sensor circuit is positioned within the housing and operable to output a signal having a frequency that varies in accordance with the position of the linearly moveable member, thereby indicating an operating state of the power transfer mechanism.
