DIFFERENTIAL GEAR OIL COOLER SYSTEM

PD-29prose procedure

Description

In this system, when the differential gear oil temperature exceeds the specified value, the temperature switch which is installed in the rear cover senses the temperature of the gear oil and activates the magnetic pump. The magnetic pump circulates differential gear oil which is cooled by the cooler located in the rear of the vehicle.
The pump automatically repeats ON-OFF operation according to the temperature of the differential gear oil.
