Thread: How do you enage D2 CDL with a spanner?

Hi mate,

I think it's a size ten, need to check, do you have the gator open or will you be doing it from underneath the car.

Cheers

10mm, and it must be engaged/disengaged with the engine running otherwise the TC/ABS/HDC stops working. Sorry but I dont know any more than that.

I'll follow this to find out myself.

I cannot upload a picture here, but have put one on link below. bottom right drawing!

Thanks, The entertainer, it will be engaged/disengaged from under the car - page 33 of Rave?
simonl8353, thanks also, yes aware of the TC, ABS and HDC issues if disengaged with ignition off.

Thanks guys, Mick

Here ya go and yes a 10mm spanner will do.



Baz.

You will need to move it around 20 degrees, though I cannot remember in what direction. Below more info from the Workshop manual!

Differential lock
The differential lock selector housing is bolted to the top of the output housing, the selector finger passes through the
housing, locating in a slot in the differential lock selector shaft. The differential lock selector shaft passes through the
selector fork which is located beneath a plate bolted to the side of the output housing. The selector fork engages the
dog clutch sleeve with the differential rear shaft when the splines of the sleeve and differential rear shaft are aligned.A
spring loaded detent ball fitted in the output housing locates in grooves in the shaft.
The function of the differential lock used in previous applications is performed on this vehicle by the Electronic Traction
Control System. However, for the purposes of 2 wheel rolling road testing , the differential lock components are
retained. For all driving conditions however, the differential lock must be set in the unlocked position.

The differential lock must only be engaged for 2 wheel rolling road testing as engagement of the lock disables the
traction control feature and inhibits correct operation of the electronic brake distribution and hill descent features. It
will also be necessary to disconnect the propeller shaft from the transfer box output shaft driving the axle whose
wheels are NOT on the rolling road. The lock may be engaged/disengaged by using a 10 mm open ended spanner
on the flats machined on the differential lock selector shaft.
Differential lock warning lamp switch
A differential lock warning lamp switch connected to the SLABS ECU and operated by movement of the selector fork
and shaft is screwed into the top of the output housing. The switch connects to earth when the differential lock is
engaged.
Differential lock warning lamp
The differential lock warning lamp is located in the instrument pack and provides a warning to the driver when the
ignition is switched on that the differential lock is engaged. With the lock engaged, the traction control and electronic
brake distribution warning lamps will also be illuminated. Disengagement of the differential lock should be carried out
with the ignition switched off. The warning lamps must be extinguished when the ignition is switched on again.
