DTC C0520-96: Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor Module "A" Component Internal Failure [10/2018 - 07/2022]: Description

The airbag ECU assembly has a built-in yaw rate and acceleration sensor and detects the vehicle condition.

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) receives signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) via CAN communication.

HINT: 

These DTCs may be stored if one of the following occurs: 

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C0520-96 Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor Module "A" Component Internal Failure
  • When the vehicle is being driven, the offset of the acceleration sensor is less than -2.25 m/s2 or more than 2.25 m/s2 .
  • With the +BS terminal voltage between 9.6 and 16.5 V, an acceleration sensor internal malfunction signal is received from the acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly).
  • The value (Forward and rearward G) of the acceleration sensor is less than -14.6 m/s2 or more than 14.6 m/s2 for 3 seconds or more.
  • When the vehicle is stopped, the value (lateral) of the acceleration sensor is less than -7 m/s2 or more than 7 m/s2 for 0.4 seconds or more.
  • The value (lateral) of the acceleration sensor is less than -14.6 m/s2 or more than 14.6 m/s2 for 0.8 seconds or more.
  • Acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly) installation
  • Acceleration sensor (airbag ECU assembly)
