YAW RATE AND DECELERATION SENSOR(for 4WD/AWD without VSC) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DECELERATION SENSOR

   
   

   1. Check the deceleration sensor.

      Under any of the following conditions, replace the sensor with a new one.

      
      

      • The surface of the sensor is cracked, dented, or chipped off.

      • The connector or wire harness is scratched, cracked, or damaged.

      • The sensor has been dropped.

2. INSPECT DECELERATION SENSOR

   
   
   1. 

      *a	Front
      *b	Forward
      *c	Rearward

      Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series (approximately 4.5 V total).

   2. Connect the batteries' positive (+) lead to terminal 1 (VGS) and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2 (GGND).

      Note

      Do not apply 6 V or higher to terminals 1 (VGS) and 2 (GGND).

   3. Connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to the negative (-) lead of the batteries, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 3 (GL1).

   4. Check the output voltage of terminal 3 (GL1) when the sensor is tilted forward and rearward.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Sensor Position Specified Condition 3 (GL1) - Battery negative (-) lead Horizontal Approx. 2.25 V 3 (GL1) - Battery negative (-) lead Tilted forward Approx. 0.45 to 2.25 V 3 (GL1) - Battery negative (-) lead Tilted rearward Approx. 2.25 to 4.05 V

      If the result is not as specified, replace the deceleration sensor.

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • If voltage drops, the sensor should be replaced with a new one.

      • When replacing the sensor, it should not be placed upside down.
