Acceleration/Deceleration Sensor: Testing and Inspection
COMBINED SENSOR INSPECTION
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Remove the combined sensor installation nut.
3. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
4. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
1 Select "DataLogger".
2 Select "Modules".
3 Select "ABS".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
1 Select "Module Tests".
2 Select "ABS".
3 Select "DataLogger".
5. Select the following PIDs, then inspect the lateral acceleration speed, longitudinal acceleration speed, roll rate and yaw rate.
- LAT_ACCL: (lateral acceleration speed)
- ACCLMTR: (longitudinal acceleration speed)
- YAW_RATE: (yaw rate)
- ROLL_RATE (roll rate)
a. Lateral acceleration speed inspection
i. Verify the LAT_ACCL change when the combined sensor is tilted to the left and right.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.
Standard
- When the sensor is tilted to the right (A): LAT_ACCL changes negatively.
- When the sensor is tilted to the left (B): LAT_ACCL changes positively.
b. Longitudinal acceleration speed inspection
i. Verify the ACCLMTR change when the combined sensor is moved forward and backward.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.
Standard
- When the sensor is tilted to forward (A): ACCLMTR changes negatively.
- When the sensor is tilted to backward (B): ACCLMTR changes positively.
c. Yaw rate inspection
i. Verify the YAW_RATE change when the combined sensor is rotated to the left and right.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor.
Standard
- When the sensor is rotated to the right (A): YAW_RATE changes positively.
- When the sensor is rotated to the left (B): YAW_RATE changes negatively.
d. Roll rate inspection
i. Verify the ROLL_RATE change when the combined sensor is tilted to the left and right.
- If there is any malfunction, replace the combined sensor
Standard
- When the sensor is tilted to the right (A): ROLL_RATE changes positively
- When the sensor is tilted to the left (B): ROLL_RATE changes negatively
