Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) measures vehicle yaw rate, roll rate, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration and sends the information to the ABS module along dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN) circuits. This dedicated CAN is used only for communication between the RCM and the ABS module. The yaw rate sensor, roll rate sensor, lateral and longitudinal accelerometers are contained in the RCM.
| DTC Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|
|
This DTC sets when there are expected messages such as yaw rate sensor, lateral and longitudinal accelerometers missing from the RCM for more than 5 seconds. |
|
This DTC sets if the lateral acceleration sensor signal is greater than 7.0 m/s2 . Also, if the absolute value of the calculated lateral acceleration signal offset is greater than 1.7 m/s2 . |
|
This DTC sets if the lateral acceleration sensor signal does not match the other stability sensor signals (steering angle, yaw rate, longitudinal acceleration, etc.). |
|
This DTC sets if the absolute value of the calculated longitudinal acceleration signal offset exceeds the tolerated threshold of 0.19 G. |
|
This DTC sets if the longitudinal acceleration sensor signal does not match the other stability sensor signals (steering angle, yaw rate, longitudinal acceleration, etc.). |
|
This DTC sets if the longitudinal acceleration sensor signal does not show acceleration or deceleration respective to the direction the vehicle is moving, based on other sensor inputs. |
|
This DTC sets if the yaw rate sensor indicates movement when the vehicle is standing still or if the absolute value of the calculated yaw rate sensor offset is greater than 6.0 m/s2. |
|
This DTC sets if the yaw rate sensor signal does not match the other stability sensor signals (steering angle, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, etc.). |
|
This DTC sets if absolute value of the calculated roll rate signal offset is greater than 7 degrees. |
|
This DTC sets if the roll rate sensor signal does not match the other stability sensor signals (wheel speed, steering angle, yaw rate, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, etc.). |
