G Sensor

The G sensor detects changes in the vehicle's acceleration/deceleration rate in the longitudinal direction.

The moving electrode of a capacitor in the sensor moves away from or close to the fixed electrode as the vehicle accelerates or decelerates and the resulting change in the capacitance of the capacitor is outputs to the ABSCM as a change in the voltage.
