Yaw Rate Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Zero Point Calibration of Yaw Rate Sensor and/or Brake Actuator Assembly
Using Hand-Held Tester
IF NECESSARY, PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE SENSOR AND/OR BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
(USING HAND-HELD TESTER)
NOTE:
-
While obtaining the zero point, do not tilt, move or shake the vehicle but keep it in a stationary condition. (Do not start the engine.)
-
Be sure to perform the operation on a level surface (within an inclination of 1 %).
a. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and shift the shift lever to the P position.
b. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
c. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
d. Operate the hand-held tester to clear zero point calibration.
HINT: After replacing the yaw rate sensor, make sure to clear zero point calibration data in the skid control ECU and perform zero point
calibration.
e. Operate the hand-held tester to test mode.
f.
Obtain zero point of the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor:
1. Keep the vehicle in a stationary condition on a level surface for 2 seconds or more.
2. Check that the VSC warning light blinks.
HINT: If the VSC warning light does not blink, perform the zero point calibration again.
g. Turn the ignition switch off.
Using SST Check Wire
IF NECESSARY, PERFORM ZERO POINT CALIBRATION OF YAW RATE SENSOR AND/OR BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
(USING SST CHECK WIRE)
NOTE:
-
While obtaining the zero point, do not tilt, move or shake the vehicle but keep it in a stationary condition. (Do not start the engine.)
-
Be sure to perform the operation on a level surface (within an inclination of 1 %).
a. Check that the steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position and shift the shift lever to the P position.
b. Clear the zero point calibration:
HINT: After replacing the yaw rate sensor, make sure to clear zero point calibration data in the skid control ECU and perform zero point
calibration.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
