The Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) receives signals from the Yaw Rate Sensor and Acceleration Sensor (Airbag Sensor Assembly) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication system.
The Airbag Sensor Assembly has a built-in Yaw Rate Sensor and Acceleration Sensor and detects the vehicle's condition.
If there is trouble in the bus lines between the Yaw Rate Sensor and Acceleration Sensor (Airbag Sensor Assembly) and the CAN communication system, the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U0124 (malfunction in CAN communication with the acceleration sensor) is output.
These DTCs are also output when calibration has not been completed.
