What Component Failure Causes a Four-Wheel Drive to Become Two-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
The reason a four-wheel drive becomes a two-wheel drive is due to incompatibility between the installed electrical capacitor and the engine control unit (ECU), which triggers an engine fault code. A car's four-wheel drive system refers to a type of driving mechanism. Below are detailed explanations about the four-wheel drive system: Overview: Four-wheel drive enables all four wheels of the car to receive driving force. The engine's power is distributed to all four wheels, reducing wheel slippage on poor road conditions and significantly improving the vehicle's off-road capability. Additional Information: Part-time four-wheel drive relies on operating the transfer case to switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. Since the transfer case lacks a center differential, part-time four-wheel drive vehicles cannot use four-wheel drive on hard surfaces (paved roads).
