Lateral Acceleration Sensor Circuit

The stability control module has detected an implausible signal from the lateral acceleration sensor. ESP uses lateral g-force together with yaw rate and steering angle to detect skid conditions — without it, ESP is disabled.

Affected components

  • Lateral acceleration sensor
  • Esp control module
  • Sensor cluster

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Lateral acceleration sensor failed
  • Medium likelihood: Sensor cluster loose or mounted incorrectly
  • Low likelihood: Wiring or connector fault

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically
