## DTC Troubleshooting: 26

DTC 26: | Lateral Acceleration Sensor

1. | Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, and reinstall the fuse if it is OK. Is the fuse OK? YES - Go to 2. NO - Replace the fuse, and recheck.n

2. | Disconnect the yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector.

3. | Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

4. | Measure the voltage between body ground and yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector terminal No. 1. Is there battery voltage? YES - Go to 5. NO - Repair open in the wire between the yaw rate/lateral acceleration sensor and under-dash fuse/relay box.n

5. | Turn the ignition switch OFF.

6. | Remove the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, and disconnect the VSA control unit 46P connector.

7. | Check for continuity between body ground and the yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector terminal No. 1. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short to body in the wire between the yaw rate/lateral acceleration sensor and under-dash fuse/relay box.n NO - Go to 8.

8. | Check for continuity between body VSA control unit 46P connector terminal No. 39 and the yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector terminal No. 3. Is there continuity? YES - Go to 9. NO - Repair open in the wire between the VSA modulator- control unit and yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor.n

9. | Check for continuity between body VSA control unit 46P connector terminal No. 38 and the yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor 4P connector terminal No. 2. Is there continuity? YES - Go to 10. NO - Repair open in the wire between the VSA modulator-control unit and yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor.n

10. | Substitute a known-good yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor.

11. | Reconnect all of disconnected connectors.

12. | Clear the DTCs using the HDS.

13. | Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II).

14. | Verify the DTC. Is DTC 25 indicated? YES - Check for loose connector terminals and repair if necessary. Replace the VSA modulator-control unit.n NO - Replace the original yaw rate/ lateral acceleration sensor.n
