Combined Sensor Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  3. Select the following PIDs and inspect the lateral acceleration and yaw rate. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)] .)
    • LAT_ACCL (lateral acceleration)
    • YAW_RATE (yaw rate)
    1. Lateral acceleration inspection

      1. Verify the LAT_ACCL change when the combined sensor is tilted to the left and right.
        • If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.(See COMBINED SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).

          Standard When the sensor is tilted to the right (A): LAT_ACCL changes positively. 

          When the sensor is tilted to the left (B): LAT ACCL changes negatively. 

    2. Yaw rate inspection
      1. Verify the YAW_RATE change when the combined sensor is rotated to the left and right.

        Standard When the sensor is rotated to the right (A): YAW RATE changes negatively. 

        When the sensor is rotated to the left (B): YAW_RATE changes positively.
