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 | ||||
| 1 | OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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 3 | Voltage out of range | Continue to Step 2 | |
| 2 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
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 3 | Wiring faulty | Renew the wiring Continue to Step 4 | |
| Sensor fastening faulty | Restore the correct fastening for the slewing sensor Continue to Step 4 | |||
| 3 | SENSOR COMPATIBILITY CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
| Check that the design number for the slewing sensor is compatible with the part number for the Model-Version-Series in question | Continue to Step 4 | The design number is not compatible | Replace the slewing sensor with one compatible with the Model-Version-Series Op. 3350E30 | |
| 4 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
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 diagnosis | The fault persists and Step 2 has not been carried out yet | Continue to Step 2 | |
| The fault persists and Step 2 has already been carried out | Replace the slewing sensor Op. 3350E30 | |||
