Front Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar - Operation

DISCONNECTING STABILIZER BAR






STABILIZER BAR FAILSAFE

Stabilizer bar will ENGAGE with the loss of ignition switch, vehicle speed, or stabilizer bar switch signals

DISENGAGE

The bar will DISENGAGE when ALL the following conditions are met:

- vehicle speed under 18 MPH
- automatically at speeds over 14 MPH if the switch is in the ON position
- transfer case in 4 HI or 4 LO
- stabilizer bar switch message received for DISENGAGE
- ignition switch in the RUN or START position
- no stabilizer bar faults detected

ENGAGE

The bar will ENGAGE when ANY of the following conditions are met:

- vehicle speed is greater or equal to 18 MPH
- stabilizer bar switch message received for ENGAGE
- transfer case in 2WD or neutral

DISCONNECTING STABILIZER BAR SWITCH

The disconnecting stabilizer bar system will latch the momentary switch (2) through software for an ignition switch OFF condition if the stabilizer bar was DISENGAGED and the transfer case was in 4LO at ignition switch OFF. Upon ignition switch RUN/START and the transfer case in 4LO, the system checks to verify all conditions to DISENGAGE the stabilizer bar are correct and then DISENGAGE the stabilizer bar without switch input.

The stabilizer switch LED will:

- Be ON SOLID when the stabilizer bar is DISENGAGED
- turn ON BLINKING when the stabilizer bar is transitioning from one state to another
- turn ON BLINKING when a request is received but conditions to DISENGAGE are not correct
- be turned OFF when the stabilizer bar is ENGAGED
- turn ON FAST BLINKING when there is a fault detected for the stabilizer bar
- turn OFF when the system is in diagnostic mode
