LATERAL ACCELERATION SENSOR AY ERROR

The diagnostic equipment signals the following error: C1355 Lateral acceleration sensor (AY)

This error is signalled if the sensor voltage is < 0.3 V or > 4.7 V or if the value sent by the sensor is not plausible. This means that there is an open circuit or short circuit (positive or earth) for the sensor or the wiring, that the sensor is mechanically damaged or that the reading circuit is damaged.

Results of the tests
1OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

Check that the output voltage for the slewing sensor (lateral acceleration signal) signal is between 0.3 and 4.7 V See E7023 ESP.

The lateral acceleration sensor is incorporated in the slewing sensor.

Continue to Step 3Voltage out of rangeContinue to Step 2
2ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

Check the continuity (no open circuit, short circuit at Vbat and at Gnd) in the slewing sensor supply wiring.

Check that the sensor is correctly fastened to the tunnel

Continue to Step 3Wiring faulty

Renew the wiring

Continue to Step 4

Sensor fastening faulty

Restore the correct fastening for the slewing sensor

Continue to Step 4

3SENSOR COMPATIBILITY CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the design number for the slewing sensor is compatible with the part number for the Model-Version-Series in questionContinue to Step 4The design number is not compatibleReplace the slewing sensor with one compatible with the Model-Version-Series Op. 3350E30
4CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation

Delete the errors using the diagnostic equipment.

Carry out road to make the control unit check whether there are still errors present.

Return to the workshop and check that the fault is no longer present using the diagnostic equipment

End of diagnosisThe fault persists and Step 2 has not been carried out yetContinue to Step 2
The fault persists and Step 2 has already been carried outReplace the slewing sensor Op. 3350E30
