Lateral Acceleration Sensor Bias/Offset
2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse 3.0L V6 🇨🇦
Description
The lateral acceleration sensor zero-point calibration has drifted beyond acceptable limits.
Symptoms
- Stability control activates on flat road
- ESC warning light on
- Inappropriate stability intervention
Common Causes
- Sensor drift over time
- Sensor not mounted level
- Vehicle parked on slope during calibration
- Aftermarket lift kit changing sensor plane
Diagnostic Steps
- Check sensor output on level surface
- Perform sensor zero-point calibration on level ground
- Verify sensor mounting angle
- Check for aftermarket ride height modifications
Repair Notes
Recalibrate sensor on level ground. Replace if bias persists.
