01279 - Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251): Implausible Signal
Possible Symptoms

• Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) active
• Possible Causes
• Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251) Calibration not performed
• Wiring/Connectors from/to Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251) faulty

Possible Solutions

• Check Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251)
• Use Measuring Value Blocks (MVB) to check Sensor Signal for plausibility
• Check Installation Position of Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251)
• Perform Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251) Calibration
• See Vehicle specific Diagnostic Procedures
• Check Wiring/Connectors from/to Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor (G251)

Implausible signal normally suggests the sensor has seen better days...
