35B-28

OPERATION
The G-sensor detects the acceleration level in the 
forward/reverse direction of the vehicle, converts the 
signals into voltage signals and then sends that 
signal to the ABS-ECU.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS
This code is set in the following case.

•

 When the G-sensor output is 1.0V or lower or 
4.0V or higher (disconnected G-sensor or 
G-sensor short circuit)

•

 If the G-sensor output power does not change 
(G-sensor output fastening).

PROBABLE CAUSES
The most likely causes for this diagnosis code to set 
are:

•

Malfunction of the G-sensor

•

Damaged wiring harness or connector

•

Malfunction of the hydraulic unit (integrated with 
ABS-ECU)

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. MUT-II/III data list

Set MUT-II/III to data reading mode, and check the 
data list item.

•

Item 32: G-sensor

OK:
When vehicle is stationary (level): 2.4 

−

 2.6 V

When vehicle is being driven: 1.0 

−

 4.0 V

Q: Is the G-sensor input normal?

YES : 

This malfunctions is intermittent. Refer to 

GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-6

.

NO : 

Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Voltage measurement at the G-sensor 
connector D-35.

(1) Disconnect G-sensor connector D-35, and check 

at the harness side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and 

earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 4.

NO : 

Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check the harness wire between 
junction block connector C-202 terminal 8 and 
G-sensor connector D-35 terminal 1.

NOTE: 

After inspecting the junction block connector C-202, 
intermediate connector C-106 <L.H. drive vehicles>, 
C-13 <R.H. drive vehilces>, and G-sensor connector 
D-35, inspect the wire. If any of these connector is 
damaged, repair or replace it. Then go to Step 8.

Q: Is the harness wire between junction block 

connector C-202 terminal 8 and G-sensor 
connector D-35 terminal 1 damaged?

YES : . 

Repair it and go to Step 8.

NO : . 

This malfunctions is intermittent. Refer to 

GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

.

STEP 4. Resistance measurement at the 
G-sensor connector D-35.

(1) Disconnect G-sensor connector D-35, and check 

at the harness side.

(2) Measure the resistance between terminal 3 and 

earth.

OK: 2 

Ω

 or less

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : 

Go to Step 6.

NO : 

Go to Step 5.
