Yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor, component description - GF42.45-P-4810CW
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300, 2010 Mercedes-Benz C300, 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300, and 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
MODEL 204.0/2 up to Model Year 2008
Illustrated on model 204.0
Location
The yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor is located below the driver's seat on the vehicle floor.
Task
The yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor measures the rotational speed about the vertical axis. The integrated lateral acceleration sensor
(AY-sensor) measures the lateral acceleration. The integrated longitudinal acceleration sensor (Ax sensor) detects longitudinal inclination.
The respective signals are read in by the Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4) via the vehicle dynamics CAN.
