Active Center Differential

Controls electronically-adjustable center differential systems that vary front/rear torque split. Manages clutch pack engagement to continuously adjust torque distribution based on driving conditions.

Hooks

HookDescription
init(jbeamData)Connects to the center and axle differentials and initializes multi-dimensional interpolated maps for locking logic.
updateFixedStep(dt)Primary control loop. Calculates target locking torque by fusing data from oversteer maps, axle slip ratios, stability maps, and handbrake status. Applies the resulting activeLockCoef to the center differential.
module.reset(jbeamData)Resets the controller to its initial state.
module.updateGFX(dt)Per-frame update for visual state and UI synchronization.

Low Air Pressure Warning

Monitors pneumatic system pressure and triggers dashboard warnings and audible alerts when air pressure drops below safe operating thresholds. Critical safety system for air brake equipped vehicles.

Anti-Lag System

Controls turbocharger anti-lag systems that maintain boost pressure during throttle lift-off. Injects fuel and retards ignition timing to keep exhaust gases flowing through the turbine, eliminating turbo lag on throttle reapplication.
