all wheel drive is active all of the time I have not heard of the all wheel drive , I have the 94 electronic 4 wheel drive , it is only active in loss off traction !! Good Luck ! The electronic 4wheel drive is automatic. When there is little to no load on the engine when it is in gear, it triggers an electric sensor switch (hence the name "electric four wheel drive") that engages the rear wheels. You will know when it's working. It will only tell you if four wheel drive has a problem, not whether or not it is on. You will feel it kick and then you start moving. I drove through an underpass that was in about 1' deep water, and as soon as i pushed the pedal and the front wheels slipped, it kinda jerked and the rear wheels started spinning as well. I hope that answers your question. Matt Hecker of Springfield Oregon I have an electronic 4WD Aerostar..a 1997. I understand that the 4WD it is active all the time with a 30% front and 70% rear power delivery to the wheels under dry-road conditions. When there is a loss of traction (e.g. if you're suddenly on a patch of ice), and the wheels skid, the power distribution becomes 50% rear, 50% front. On mine, there is an alarming jerk in the transmission, like you've gone over a railroad track. I'm not sure whether this is normal or not. However, at low speeds the aerostar is terrific in snow...I've driven though a snow covered ploughed field with it...it's awesome.
Electronic circuits contain active components that can amplify, electrical don't.
A: The difference is PASSIVE / ACTIVE
An active electronic element is one that can produce voltage gain or current gain.

Electronic Patient Records will stay active on a server as long as you are a patient of the person recording your visits. If you change doctors you may request that your records be sent to the office.
A warrant will be active until the conditions of the warrant are satisfied. It will also be active until the warrant is served.
Active devices are those devices which can produce power or which can amplify the signal Such devices are- diode transistor op-amp

We all have different feelings If you are active - Its Boring If you are a Computer and Electronic Monster - OF COURSE ITS NOT!
Electronic component are those component which are used to make the electronic circuit it may be active or passive . some active components are - Diode ,FET,BJT,MOSFET, and HEMT etc. while passive component are those device which can not process/amplify signal like- resistor capacitor inductor etc.
