Default e-Diff: How is it different from Limited Slip

So, how is the e-Diff different from a "normal" Limited Slip Differential ?

How does it work differently ?

How can you tell if it is working correctly ?

Can it fail ?
If so, how can you tell ?

Is it adjustable ?

If it is not working correctly, how to fix it ?

It is electronic. It is controlled by the computer.

juan,
thanks for your response.

But I am asking for some specifics.... how is it different from a "regular" one.
I know the manual describes some things.

I need to know if mine is working correctly... how can I determine this?
If it is not, how can I get it corrected (or can i ?) ?

If it is working correctly, can I adjust (tweak) any of the settings ?

Well, sorry guys... but none of this is actually answering my questions.

I would like to know just how it works......
does it use fluids?
how does it control both wheels/axles separately?
what parameters does it use to make this control happen?

etc., etc., etc.

I can't get any answers from my GM dealer.

So can ANYONE help me?

Dubbed eLSD in GM speak, the suggestively named diff comes standard with the Z51 Performance Package, and employs a hydraulically actuated clutch that infinitely varies the amount of engagement, going from open to full lock in tenths of a second. Fully integrated with the stability-control and Performance Traction Management systems, the system controls the differential according to an algorithm that factors in vehicle speed, steering input, and throttle position.
Basically, it works a lot like a regular LSD, but used fluid to vary the clutch pressure.
