Lateral Accelerometer: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION






The Yaw Rate and Lateral Acceleration Sensor is housed into one unit (Fig. 7) (each individual sensor can not be replaced separately the whole housing unit must be replaced when servicing). The sensor is used to measure side to side (Lateral) motion and vehicle rotational sensing (how fast the vehicle is turning). This is a 6-wire sensor with all six wires connected to the ESP/ABS module.
