1997 AWD Information

Is it possible to read the percentage power is distributed among the four wheels in real-time while the car is moving ? Does it have sensors for the traction and where are they/how to interface them ?

Thanks in advance...

I have a 1999, same AWD system.

Apparently the split is 90% front, 10% rear for normal driving, which increases to 50/50 split if the front spin.

Purely mechanical/vacum operated system, no electronic gadgetary.


The Diff on the rear is limited slip, and the power is transferred via a power transfer uit at the front and an overruning clutch at the rear. If you have a haynes manual it describes how the system works.

nothing too complicated
