Front Disconnecting Stabilizer Bar - Description






DISCONNECTING STABILIZER BAR

This feature will provide feedback to the driver and be controlled by an electronic module (part of the stabilizer bar) which communicates via CAN C at 500 kbps. The disconnecting stabilizer bar module will read the ignition switch, vehicle speed, transfer case, and stabilizer bar switch messages on the CAN C bus and control the disconnecting stabilizer bar. The module will send a stabilizer bar status message and a lighting message on CAN C.

SWAY BAR SWITCH





The OFF ROAD switch pod (1) is located on the instrument panel near the steering column. The switch pod contains a SWAY BAR switch (2) and a AXLE LOCK switch (3).

The switch pod housing and the push buttons are constructed of molded plastic. Each push button is clearly identified with the appropriate text. The SWAY BAR switch (2) is a momentary switch while the AXLE LOCK switch (2) is a rocker type switch.

Panel lamps dimmer controlled illumination lamps integral to the circuit board within the switch provide back lighting for visibility at night, but these lamps are not serviceable. The individual switches in the OFF ROAD switch pod cannot be repaired and are not serviced separately. If any component within the switch pod is ineffective or damaged, the entire switch pod unit must be replaced.
