A remotely controlled electronically actuated vehicle differential system is disclosed. In one embodiment, an electronically actuated vehicle differential is selectively controlled via a remote control unit. The remote control unit generates differential activation and deactivation signals that are received by a wireless receiver unit disposed within a vehicle. An electronically actuated differential is operatively coupled to receive input signals from the wireless receiver unit. The operational status (i.e., engagement or disengagement of a traction modifying differential gear mechanism) of the electronically actuated differential is controlled by the input signals received from the wireless receiver. In one embodiment, the electronically actuated differential comprises an electronically actuated locking differential. In this embodiment, the electronically actuated locking differential fully locks the differential when the locking differential activation signals are received by the wireless receiver unit. The electronically actuated locking differential unlocks the differential when the locking differential deactivation signals are received by the wireless receiver unit. |
