Be careful and do not allow the lateral-G sensor to fall. If by chance it is subjected to strong impact, replace it.
1. Connect the connector.
2. Turn ignition switch on, verify the voltage between terminals B and E under the following conditions.
If not within the specification, replace the lateral-G sensor.
(1) Lateral-G
1) Horizontal
Voltage 2.4-2.6 V
2) Facing up (inclined 90° from horizontal)
Voltage 3.3-3.7 V
3) Facing down (declined 90° from horizontal)
Voltage 1.3-1.7 V
(2) Yaw rate
1) Measure yaw rate sensor voltage under static condition.
2) Measure voltage at output terminal D and ground terminal E when the yaw rate sensor is rotated left and right.
Caution
Be careful when turning the yaw rate sensor rotation position while it is in a reversed state because the rotation direction and voltage will be reversed.
Voltage Right rotation: fluctuation between 2.5-4.62 V Left rotation: fluctuation between 2.5-0.33 V
