Yaw Rate Sensor: Description and Operation

GF42.45-P-4810CE Yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor, component description

Component Identification:

Location
The yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor is located below the driver's seat on the vehicle floor.

Task
The yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor measures the rotational speed about the vertical axis. The integrated lateral acceleration sensor measures lateral acceleration. The integrated longitudinal acceleration sensor detects longitudinal inclination.

The respective signals are read in by the Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4) via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H).
