  • Patent number: 12669170
    Abstract: A control system for controlling a limited-slip differential (LSD) of a vehicle, the vehicle having an engine and left and right ground-engaging elements, the vehicle having the LSD operatively connectable to a driveshaft and to the left and right ground-engaging elements, left and right suspension assemblies connected to the left and right ground-engaging elements, the LSD being adapted for transferring torque from the driveshaft to the left and right ground-engaging elements. The control system includes at least one sensor determining indications of positions of the right and left suspensions or ground-engaging members; and a control unit operatively connected to the LSD and to the sensor, the control unit being configured to execute: receiving sensor signals from the sensor, generating a control signal at least partly based on the sensor signals, and controlling selective locking of the LSD based on the control signal.
