Acceleration Sensor: Testing and Inspection





SUSPENSION CONTROL: FRONT ACCELERATION SENSOR: INSPECTION

1. INSPECT ACCELERATION SENSOR ASSEMBLY





(a) Inspect the acceleration sensor LH.

(b) Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series.

(c) Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SGV) of the acceleration sensor and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 2 (SGND). Then measure the voltage between terminal 1 (SGRR) and terminal 2 (SGND).

(d) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NOTICE:
Do not apply a voltage of more than 6 V.

HINT
When the acceleration sensor is tilted, it may output a different value.

(e) Inspect the acceleration sensor RH.





(f) Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series.

(g) Connect the positive (+) end of the batteries to terminal 3 (SHB) of the acceleration sensor and the negative (-) end of the batteries to terminal 2 (SHG). Then measure the voltage between terminal 1 (SGFL) and terminal 2 (SHG).

(h) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





NOTICE:
Do not apply a voltage of more than 6 V.

HINT
When the acceleration sensor is tilted, it may output a different value.
