AUTOMATIC FREE-WHEELING HUB INDICATOR SYSTEM - Generallnformation 8-211
3. Automatic free-wheeling hub in free condition
For the free condition, although there are (when the vehicle is traveling) output signals from the vehicle-
speed sensor, there are no signals from the pulse generator, with the result that the memory circuit is
erased (because reset signals are output from the lock-discrimination circuit), and so the indicaotr light
does not illuminate.

16W1546 The pulse generator is located at the rear part of the front
output shaft of the transfer, and is composed of the magnet,
the coil and the pole (iron core).
When a magnetic material (iron, nickel, etc.) is brought close
to and moved away from the pole (iron core), the magnetic flux
within the pole changes, thus generating AC voltage in the
coil.
Because the front output shaft does not rotate when the
automatic free-wheeling hub is in the free condition, there is
no generation of AC voltage in the pulse generator.
In the locked condition, however, the front output shaft and
the pulse rotor rotate, with the result that the magnetic flux
(within the p o e I (’ Iron core) of the pulse generator) changes in
accordance with the rotations of the pulse rotor, thereby
generating AC voltage in the coil.
This AC voltage is transmitted to the automatic free-wheeling
hub indicator control unit.
