Abstract

A differential control device for controlling the differential of a differential gear having a differential limiting mechanism includes a sensor for detecting a steering angle, a sensor for detecting a vehicle speed, a controller for receiving signals from the steering angle detecting sensor and vehicle speed detecting sensor and an actuator for operating the differential limiting mechanism. A reference steering angle corresponding to a vehicle speed is set in the controller, and the controller controls the actuator on the basis of the reference steering angle.
