2. Yaw Rate/Lateral Acceleration Sensor Examples.

The Lateral Acceleration Sensor must be recalibrated as part of:

• Replacement of the sensor

• Repairs after an accident that may have led to damage of the yaw rate/lateral acceleration sensor

• Reinstalling the sensor anytime it is removed from the vehicle

Note: It is important that the small hole at the bottom of the Bendix

YAS-60

™

yaw rate/lateral acceleration sensor

is always open to the atmosphere. For this reason, do not paint the YAS-60

™

. If it is necessary to paint near the

YAS-60

™

, remove the sensor from the vehicle. When reinstalling the YAS-60

™

to the vehicle after any maintenance

or painting work that required its removal, always recalibrate it using Bendix ACom

™

PC software (versions 5.3 or

higher).

TRUCK CHASSIS MODIFICATIONS

If the vehicle’s chassis components are altered (for example, a wheel base extension or reduction, tag axle

addition or removal, a major body change such as conversion of a tractor into a truck, or an axle, suspension, or

steering system component modiﬁ cation) the basic ABS functionality may continue to be used, but advanced ABS

features, such as the Bendix

ESP

system, must be disabled. See the appropriate Service Data sheet for more

information.
