Stability Control Sensors

The stability control sensors for the ESC system include the yaw rate sensor, lateral and longitudinal accelerometers. The yaw rate sensor, the lateral and longitudinal accelerometers are able to detect and measure changes in vehicle direction that indicate the need for the ABS to make corrections that help prevent vehicle roll over or spin outs. The sensors are housed in the Restraints Control Module (RCM) which sends sensor information to the ABS module over a private HS-CAN.
