Lateral Acceleration (JL4)

Lateral acceleration is a measure of how hard a vehicle is taking a corner. The electronic brake control module (EBCM) calculates the lateral acceleration during vehicle turns as part of the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES). The EBCM sends a class 2 message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) indicating the vehicle lateral acceleration. Lateral acceleration which is acceleration due to gravity is measured in a g. The lateral acceleration display in the message center measures from 0.00 g up to 1.2 g. Refer to ABS Description and Operation for more information the VSES system.
