Rotation Rate/Transverse Acceleration Sensor

ROTATION RATE/TRANSVERSE ACCELERATION SENSOR












Located under the center console behind the MRS III control module, the rotation rate and transverse acceleration sensor provides two inputs to the DSC control module. The sensor is isolated from body/chassis vibrations through its rubber mounting.

For rotational speed, the sensor produces a reference signal of 2.5 volts and a linear voltage signal from 0.7 to 4.3 volts. This linear voltage input signal is used by the DSC control module as the degree of rotational rate (yaw).

The sensor also produces a linear voltage signal for the lateral acceleration (C-force) that ranges from 0.5 to 4.5 volts. The DSC control module uses this input to determine the side forces acting on the vehicle for DSC regulation.
