General Information
Component Location
General Description
When the vehicle is turning with respect to a vertical axis the yaw rate sensor detects the yaw rate electronically by the vibration change of plate fork inside the yaw rate sensor.
If yaw velocity reaches the specific velocity after it detects the vehicle yawing, the ESC control is reactivated.
The later G sensor senses vehicle's lateral G. A small element inside the sensor is attached to a deflectable lever arm by later G.
Direction and magnitude of lateral G loaded to vehicle can be known with electrostatic capacity changing according to lateral G.
It interchanges signals with HECU through extra CAN line which only used for communication between HECU and sensor.
DTC Description
A failure is detected if the Yaw rate & later G sensor message was not received or HECU detects sensor CAN Bus off state for more than the specified failure detection time.
The Monitoring starts 1 sec after Power Up.
