Lateral G Sensor 1-2 Circuit Check

LATERAL G SENSOR 1-2 CIRCUIT CHECK





When "LATERAL G SEN 1-2" appears on the display with CONSULT set on self-diagnostic mode, it indicates that lateral G sensors (1 and 2) deviate from the specified output characteristics. Output characteristic deviations are measured both statically and dynamically. Static characteristics occur while the vehicle is at a standstill and dynamic characteristics occur while the vehicle is operating. It is therefore necessary to investigate the cause, when the active suspension warning lamp is illuminated. Determine how the vehicle was being driven when the lamp activated. Reproduction tests should also be conducted to double-check the results.
With CONSULT set on self-diagnostic mode, the number of times when a problem occurred appears on the display. It refers to the number of times the ignition switch was turned ON and OFF after a problem occurred. It is helpful in pinpointing the time when it occurred.

LATERAL G SENSOR 1 (OR 2) CIRCUIT CHECK





NOTES:
(1) When one lateral G sensor is found to be "faulty", replace both G sensors.
(2) Also check with CONSULT set to field test mode as needed.
