Wheel Speed Sensor (Traction Control)





ROTATIONAL SPEED
Wheel rotation speed is detected by the wheel sensors, located at each wheel. The signals are sent to the control unit, which compares each wheel's speed and determines whether traction control is required.








LATERAL ACCELERATION
Lateral Acceleration Is Detected By The lateral acceleration (Lg) sensor located under the rear center trim panel. The Lg sensor varies the output voltage in accordance with the left or right side acceleration and sends it to the Traction Control System (TCS) control unit as a lateral acceleration signal.
