Yaw Rate and G-Sensor Description and Operation

~1min read

Description

When the vehicle turns about the vertical axis, the yaw rate sensor electronically detects the yaw rate by vibration. Replace the tuning fork inside the yaw rate sensor. If the yaw rate reaches the specified value after detecting vehicle yaw, ESC control is activated again. The lateral G sensor detects the lateral acceleration of the vehicle. A small element inside the sensor is attached to the deflecting lever. The direction and magnitude of the lateral G acting on the vehicle can be determined from the change in electrostatic capacitance in accordance with the lateral G.
