    3. Measure the voltage of the sensor.

      Standard voltage

      Tester Connection Sensor Condition Specified Condition
      1 (SGRR) - 2 (SGND) Sensor stationary Approx. 2.25 V
      Sensor is tilted Change between approx. 0.9 to 2.3 V
      NOTE:
      • Do not apply a voltage of more than 6 V.
      • Do not drop the acceleration sensor. If it is dropped, replace it with a new one.
      • The acceleration sensor removed from the vehicle must not be placed upside down.

      HINT: 

      When the acceleration sensor is tilted, it may output a different value.
