OPERATION
The differential assembly is driven by the transfer
shaft by way of the differential ring gear. The ring
gear drives the differential case, and the case drives
the driveshafts through the differential gears. The
differential pinion and side gears are supported in
the case by thrust washers and a pinion shaft. Dif-
ferential pinion and side gears make it possible for
front tires to rotate at different speeds while corner-
ing.
DISASSEMBLY
NOTE: The differential is serviced as an assembly.
The only parts that are serviceable within the differ-
ential are the differential bearing cups and cones. If
any other part fails within the differential, you must
replace the differential assembly along with the
transfer shaft.
The transfer shaft should be removed for differen-
tial repair and bearing turning torque checking.
(1) Remove the differential cover and bolts (Fig.
169) (Fig. 170).(2) Remove the differential bearing retainer and
bolts (Fig. 171) (Fig. 172).

A conventional mechanical interlock system is also
used. This system manually prohibits shifter move-
ment when the ignition switch is in the LOCK or
ACC positions. Solenoid operation is not required in
these key positions.
For intended BTSI system operation, refer to the
following chart:
ACTION EXPECTED RESPONSE
1. Turn key to the9OFF9
position.1. Shifter CAN be shifted
out of park with brake
pedal applied.
2. Turn key to the
9ON/RUN9position.2. Shifter CANNOT be
shifted out of park.
3. Turn key to the
9ON/RUN9position and
depress the brake pedal.3. Shifter CAN be shifted
out of park.
4. Leave shifter in any
gear and try to return key
to the9LOCK9or9ACC9
position.4. Key cannot be
returned to the9LOCK9or

the key.5. Key can be removed
(after returning to9LOCK9
position).
6. With the key removed,
try to shift out of9PARK9.6. Shifter cannot be
shifted out of9PARK9.
NOTE: Any failure to meet these expected
responses requires system adjustment or repair.
