Abstract
A differential control device for controlling the differential of a differential gear having a limited slip differential includes a sensor for detecting drive torque, a controller for receiving the detected torque from the sensor to compare the size of the torque with a predetermined value and an actuator. The actuator is controlled by the controller to operate the limited slip differential for limiting the differential when the detected torque exceeds the predetermined value.
