Acceleration/Deceleration Sensor: Description and Operation

SENSORS
G (Acceleration) Switch: The CAB monitors the acceleration switch at all times. The switch assembly contains three mercury switches that monitor vehicle deceleration rates (G-force). Sudden, rapid changes in vehicle and wheel deceleration rate trigger the switch, sending a signal to the CAB. The switch assembly responds to three deceleration rates; two for forward braking and one for rearward braking.
