Combined Sensor Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Connect the M-MDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.

  3. Select the following PIDs, then inspect the lateral acceleration speed and the yaw rate.
    • LAT_ACCL: (lateral acceleration speed)
    • YAW_RATE: (yaw rate)
      1. Lateral acceleration speed inspection
        1. Verify the LAT_ACCL change when the combined sensor is tilted to the left and right.
          • If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.

        Standard 

        When the sensor is tilted to the right: LAT_ACCL changes negatively. 

        When the sensor is tilted to the left: LAT_ACCL changes positively.

      2. Yaw rate inspection
        1. Verify the YAW_RATE change when the combined sensor is rotated to the left and right.
          • If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.

      Standard 

      When the sensor is rotated to the right: YAW_RATE changes negatively. 

      When the sensor is rotated to the left: YAW_RATE changes positively.
