SENSOR, Dynamics: Description: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup and 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The yaw rate, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration sensors are housed into one unit known as the dynamics sensor (2). The sensor is used to measure vehicle rotational sensing (how fast the vehicle is turning - yaw), side-to-side (lateral) motion and longitudinal acceleration (forward). The dynamics sensor (2) is located on the floor panel transmission tunnel under the center floor console (or if equipped with a bench seat, under the front center seat section) next to the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) (3).
NOTE:
If the dynamics sensor is replaced, it must be initialized using the scan tool.
The yaw rate and lateral acceleration sensors cannot be serviced separately. The entire dynamics sensor (2) must be replaced when necessary.
