Code S070, Left Front Accelerometer Fault: Description

The RSS module monitors the accelerometer data for a sensor out-of-range condition. If the signal is under voltage (0.5 volt) or over voltage (4.5 volts) for more than 1/2 second at vehicle speeds greater than the full firm speed setting, the error is set.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. To diagnose this condition, clear codes. Enter output cycling. Manipulate affected wiring. Tap the sensor. Recheck for codes. See NOTES ON INTERMITTENTS  under TESTING & DIAGNOSIS.
  2. The code may set because Code S074 is set. If Code S074 is set, first diagnose and repair fault causing Code S074.
CAUTION: DO NOT  backprobe connector terminals at position sensors or dampers.
NOTE: After repairs, clear codes and verify system operation.
