Deceleration Sensor (W/ Abs) -- On-Vehicle Inspection |
1. INSPECT DECELERATION SENSOR |
![]() |
Connect 3 dry cell batteries of 1.5 V in series (approximately 4.5 V total).
Connect the batteries' positive (+) lead to terminal 3 (VGS) and the negative (-) lead to terminal 2 (GGND).
- NOTICE:
- Do not apply 6 V or higher to terminals 3 (VGS) and 2 (GGND).
Connect the voltmeter's positive (+) lead to the negative (-) lead of the batteries, and the negative (-) lead to terminal 1 (GL1).
Check the output voltage of terminal 1 (GL1) when the sensor is tilted forward and rearward.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Sensor Position Specified Condition 1 (GL1) - Battery's negative (-) lead Horizontal Approx. 2.25 V 1 (GL1) - Battery's negative (-) lead Tilted forward Approx. 0.45 to 2.25 V 1 (GL1) - Battery's negative (-) lead Tilted rearward Approx. 2.25 to 4.05 V
- HINT:
- If voltage drops, the sensor should be replaced with a new one.
- When replacing the sensor, it should not be placed upside down.
