C1436 Description

 

The Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor signals are sent to the Skid Control Electronic Control Unit (ECU) via the Control Area Network (CAN) communication system. The Yaw Rate Sensor has a built-in Acceleration Sensor and detects the vehicle’s condition using 2 circuits. The Skid Control ECU monitors the Yaw Rate Sensor. The Skid Control ECU sets the OBDII code when the Yaw Rate Sensor is not to factory specifications.
