1

CHECK POWER SUPPLY OF YAW RATE 
AND LATERAL G SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from yaw rate and 

lateral G sensor.

3) Turn ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure voltage between yaw rate and lat-

eral G sensor and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R100) No. 3 (

++++

) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

10 — 15 V

Go to step 4.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF VDCCM.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from VDCCM.
3) Remove cover for VDCCM connector. 

<Ref. to VDC-19, REMOVE, VDCCM Con-
nector Cover.>

4) Connect connector to VDCCM.
5) Turn ignition switch to ON.
6) Measure voltage between VDCCM and 

chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(F87) No. 63 (

++++

) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Is the measured value within the specified 
range?

10 — 15 V

Repair harness 
between yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor and VDCCM.

Go to step 3.

3

CHECK POOR CONTACT IN CONNECTORS.
Is there poor contact in yaw rate and lateral G 
sensor connector?

There is poor contact.

Repair or replace 
VDCCM connec-
tor.

Replace VDCCM.  
<Ref. to VDC-8, 
VDC Control Mod-
ule (VDCCM).>

4

CHECK HARNESS OF YAW RATE AND LAT-
ERAL G SENSOR.
1) Disconnect connector from VDCCM.
2) Measure resistance between VDCCM and 

yaw rate and lateral G sensor.

Connector & terminal

(F87) No. 66 — (R100) No. 1:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

0.5 

Ω

Go to step 5.

Repair harness 
between yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor and VDCCM.

5

CHECK GROUND SHORT OF HARNESS.
Measure resistance between VDCCM and 
chassis ground.

Connector & terminalDoes the measured 
value exceed the specified value?

(F87) No. 66 — Chassis ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified 
value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 6.

Repair harness 
between yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor and VDCCM.

6

CHECK BATTERY SHORT OF HARNESS.
Measure voltage between VDCCM and chas-
sis ground.

Connector & terminal

(F87) No. 66 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Is the measured value less than the specified 
value?

0.5 V

Go to step 7.

Repair harness 
between yaw rate 
and lateral G sen-
sor and VDCCM.
