G Sensor: Inspection

DIAGNOSTIC CHART

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.  Is a Subaru Select Monitor available? Go to step 5.  Go to step 2. 
2 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the G sensor from vehicle.
  3. Connect the connector to the G sensor.
  4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
  5. Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal 

(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (-): 

Is the voltage 2.3 ± 0.2 V when G sensor is in a horizontal position? Go to step 3  . Replace G sensor.
3 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal 

(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (-): 

Is the voltage between 3.9 ± 0.2 V when G sensor is inclined forward 90°? Go to step 4.  Replace G sensor.
4 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Measure the voltage between G sensor connector terminals.

Connector & terminal: 

(B292) No. 2 (+) - No. 3 (-) 

Is the voltage 0.7 ± 0.2 V when the G sensor is inclined backward 90°? G sensor is normal. Replace G sensor.
5 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
  3. Set the Subaru Select Monitor to the {BRAKE CONTROL} mode.
  4. Set the display in the {Current Data Display & Save} mode.
  5. Read the G sensor output voltage.
Is the indicated reading on the monitor display 0±0.1 m/s2 ? Go to step 6.  Replace G sensor.
6 CHECK G SENSOR. 
  1. Remove the console box.
  2. Remove the G sensor from vehicle. (Do not disconnect the connector.)
  3. Read the Subaru Select Monitor display.
Is the numerical value -9.8±0.1 m/s2 when G sensor is inclined forward 90°? Go to step 7.  Replace G sensor.
7 CHECK G SENSOR. 
Read the Subaru Select Monitor display.
Is the numerical value 9.8±0.1 m/s2 when G sensor is inclined back 90°? G sensor is normal. Replace G sensor.
