Stuck in deceleration sensor
Description
The skid control ecu receives signals from the yaw rate and deceleration
sensor via the can
communication system.
The yaw rate sensor has a built-in deceleration sensor and detects the vehicle's
condition using 2 circuits
(gl1: g sensor 1, gl2: g sensor 2).
If there is t ...
