Yaw Rate/Side G Sensor SystemNFS0004I
CAUTION:
Sudden turns (such as spin turns, acceleration turns), drifting, etc. When VDC function is OFF (VDC
OFF switch ON) may cause the yaw rate/side G sensor system indicate a problem. However this is not
a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS
Check self-diagnosis results.
CAUTION:
When on a turntable, such as at a parking structure entrance, or when on a moving object with the
engine running, the VDC OFF indicator lamp might turn on and the self-diagnosis using the CONSULT-
III the yaw rate sensor system might be displayed, but in this case there is no problem with the yaw
rate sensor system. As soon as the vehicle leaves the turntable or moving object, restart the engine to
return the system to normal.
Is the above displayed in the self-diagnosis display items?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> INSPECTION END
2. CHECK CONNECTOR
1. Disconnect yaw rate/side G sensor connector and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector and check the
terminals for deformation, disconnection, looseness, and so on. If there is an error, repair or replace the
terminal.
2. Reconnect the connectors and then preform self-diagnosis.
Is the result of self-diagnosis normal?
YES >> The connector terminal contact is loose, damaged, open or shorted.
NO >> GO TO 3.

tor.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 4.
NG >> If the open or short in harness, repair or replace the harness.
4. CHECK YAW RATE/SIDE G SENSOR
1. Connect yaw rate/side G sensor and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connectors.
2. Use “DATA MONITOR” to check if the yaw rate/side G sensor are normal.
OK or NG
OK >> INSPECTION END
NG >> Replace the malfunctioning yaw rate/side G sensor, and then re-conduct the VDC/TCS/ABS con-
trol unit self-diagnosis.
