Lateral acceleration sensor PSM 5.7

The transverse acceleration sensor and the rate-of-turn sensor are combined in one housing in the PSM 5.7. The components are fitted on a printed circuit board and operate according to the micromechanic principle. The sensor is connected via a six-pole plug. The transverse acceleration is measured according to a capacitive principle. Without the transverse acceleration measurement, it is impossible for the PSM control module to calculate the actual vehicle condition. The PSM function is switched off.
