How do lock out hubs on a 4 wheel drive work?

The hubs lock the axel to the hub, which drives the wheel. With the transfer case in 2WD, the rear driveshaft drives the rear wheels. Without front hubs, in 2WD, as the front tires roll, they spin the axles and the front driveshaft. With lock out hubs, in 2WD and the hubs unlocked only the tires spin. However, in 4WD if you forget to lock the hubs, only the driveshafts and axles spin. When I lived in MI, in the winter I always kept my hubs "locked", this way I could shift into 4WD whenever I needed to without getting out in the cold to "lock" the hubs.

How do auto locking hubs work?

Normally both wheels on a single axel revolve at an identical rate. Vehicles with auto-locking hubs have sensors that monitor the speed of each wheel independently. If a speed differential is detected meaning if one wheel begins to spin faster or slower than the other wheel, a solonoid (switch) is activated releasing the hubs such that they can spin in and lock. Because only one wheel has torque at any time, if there is a differential speed between the 2 wheels, it means that the torque wheel has broken loose.

Although you have a manual shift on the transfer case the hubs lock in on vacuum. Chances are you have bad vacuum lines going to the hubs (about $150+ at a Kia dealer or $40 at your local service station). If not the lines, it will be the seals in the hubs.
