Lateral Accelerometer: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION





The Yaw Rate and Lateral Acceleration Sensors are housed into one unit known as the Dynamics Sensor (3). The sensor is used to measure side-to-side (Lateral) motion and vehicle rotational sensing (how fast the vehicle is turning - Yaw).

The dynamics sensor (3) is located on the floor pan tunnel (2), just forward of the front floor console below the instrument panel (1).

Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensors cannot be serviced separately. The entire Dynamics Sensor must be replaced when necessary.
