Lateral Accelerometer, Signal

The value indicates the lateral accelerometer signal, i. e. the lateral incline of the car. The signal from the lateral accelerometer, which is integrated in the body sensor cluster stability sensor (BSC), transmits information to the brake control module (BCM) about the lateral acceleration of the car. Turning left produces a body roll to the right, giving a positive value. Turning right produces a body roll to the left, giving a negative value.

Measurement range: -20 to +20 m/s2

HINT: The value can be influenced by changing the sideways incline of the car, for example by raising the right or left-hand side of the car.
