Circuit/System Description
The front axle control circuit consists of an electric motor actuator which engages and disengages the front axle. The front axle actuator motor
consists of a permanent magnetic motor, a worm gear controlled plunger, a front axle switch and an electronic control circuit within the actuator
assembly.
The front axle actuator consists of the following circuits:
* An Ignition 1 voltage circuit
* An axle switch signal circuit
* An axle actuator control circuit
* A ground circuit
When a shift to 4WD Auto or 4WD HI is requested, the transfer case shift control module (TCCM) engages the front axle by grounding the front
axle control circuit through a current limiting driver.
