Combined Sensor Inspection

  1. Turn the ignition switch off.
  2. Connect the M-MDS 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.
