Front Axle - C200FE - ELSD Differential Carrier






DIFFERENTIAL-ELSD

HYDRAULIC





Raise vehicle and rotate tires in the opposite direction at the same time. This will make any oil left in the piston chamber apply pressure to the clutch and create some drag on the wheels. The wheels will not lock because the differential solenoid is not activated.

SOLENOID

With solenoid disconnected resistance across the solenoid should be 13.5 to 14.5 ohms at 25° Celsius (77° Fahrenheit). To replace the solenoid disconnect wire connector then squeeze the retention clip and pull solenoid up.
