Yaw Rate And Lateral Acceleration Sensor

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor provides the ABS module with inputs of yaw rate and lateral acceleration.

The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor is installed under the center console and secured to the transmission tunnel with two bolts.

When the ignition switch is in position II, the yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor receives an ignition power feed from the CJB. The sensor is self diagnosed by the ABS module and can be interrogated using T4. The ABS module broadcasts the yaw rate and lateral acceleration values, on the high speed CAN bus, for use by other systems.

The ABS module monitors the yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensor for faults. If a fault is detected the ABS module stores a related fault code and illuminates the DSC warning indicator and, on vehicles with the low line instrument cluster, the HDC warning indicator. A warning chime sounds and, on vehicles with the high line instrument cluster, a message advising of an HDC fault is shown in the message center.
