VISCOUS COUPLER
DESCRIPTION
The heart of the all-wheel drive system is the
inter-axle viscous coupling and bi-directional over-
running clutch. Under normal driving the vehicle
retains predominantly front wheel drive characteris-
tics. The all-wheel drive takes effect when the front
wheels start to slip. Under normal level road,
straight line driving, 100% of the torque is allocated
to the front wheels. The viscous coupler allows more
torque to the rear wheels in accordance with the
amount of slippage at the front wheels. The variable
torque distribution is automatic with no driver
inputs required.
OPERATION
The viscous coupler (Fig. 46) is a housing nearly
filled with a high viscosity silicone liquid and thin
metal plates alternately splined to an inner and
outer drum. The viscous coupler provides torque in
the following modes:
²Shear mode (normal operation)
²Hump mode (locked mode)The inner plates are slotted around the radius and
the outer plates have holes in them. In the shear
mode (normal operation), the plates are evenly
spaced and the torque is created by the shearing of
the plates through the fluid and 90-100% of the
torque is applied to the rear axle. During the shear
mode, a fluid flow pattern is created from this design
(holes and slots). This fluid flow causes high pressure
on each side of each pair of plates and low pressure
between each pair of plates.
When a high speed difference (shear) occurs
because of loss of traction (one axle spinning faster
than the other), the silicone fluid expands as it heats
from this shearing. When the silicone expands to fill
the viscous coupler completely, this pressure differ-
ence is high enough to squeeze each pair of plates
together. The resulting hump torque is up to 8 times
higher than the shear torque. When the viscous cou-
pler is in the hump mode, it does not lock the axles
(undifferentiated 4-Wheel Drive). It controls the
amount of slippage while delivering maximum power
to the axle having greatest traction. Once the speed
difference equalizes the fluid and plates cool down
and the viscous coupler goes back to the shear mode.

(6) Check pedal travel. If pedal travel is excessive
or has not been improved, enough fluid has not
passed through the system to expel all the trapped
air. Be sure to monitor the fluid level in the pressure
bleeder, so it stays at a proper level so air will not
enter the brake system through the master cylinder.
(7) Perform a final adjustment of the rear brake
shoes (when applicable), then test drive vehicle to be
sure brakes are operating correctly and that pedal is
solid.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - PEDAL POSITION
SENSOR
Refer to Appropriate Diagnostic Information.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove battery ground cable terminal from
battery negative post and isolate.
(2) Under instrument panel, remove silencer panel
below lower steering column cover.
(3) Press release tab to the left (Fig. 11), then
remove bulkhead connector from bracket by pulling it
toward lower steering column cover.(4) Move bulkhead connector toward left side of
vehicle as far as its wires will allow. Do not over-
stress wiring.
(5) Remove two mounting screws securing pedal
position sensor in place (Fig. 12).
(6) Remove pedal position sensor from bracket.
(7) Disconnect wiring connector and remove pedal
position sensor.
INSTALLATION
(1) Connect wiring connector to pedal position sen-
sor.
NOTE: Make sure pin in pedal assembly fits into
slot in sensor carriage when installing sensor.
(2) Place sensor against mounting bracket and into
brake pedal (Fig. 12). Move carriage as necessary to
align slot with pin. Install two mounting screws.
Tighten screws to 7.5 N´m (66 in. lbs.) torque.
(3) Align the bulkhead connector mounting slot
with its bracket and install it, locking it in place.
(4) Install silencer panel below lower steering col-
umn cover.
(5) Connect ground cable to negative post of bat-
tery.
(6) Connect scan tool (DRBIIIt) to data link diag-
nostic connector located below steering column.
(7) Turn ignition key to ON position.
(8) Using scan tool, check for and clear any exist-
ing adjustable pedal fault codes.
(9) Test operation of adjustable pedals, memory
sets (if equipped), and RKE (if equipped). If applica-
ble, reset radio and clock.
(10) Recheck for any fault codes.
