Sensors
The driving dynamics control sensors are integrated in the
airbag control module. They measure acceleration in the X
and Y directions as well as the yaw rate about the Z axis.
The driving dynamics control sensors work in a lower accel-
eration and deceleration range than the crash sensors. The
acceleration and deceleration levels which can occur during
a collision are dierent to those which can occur when a
vehicle loses grip (for example,oversteer, understeer).
G858 is an acceleration sensor. It is a combination sensor
which measures both vehicle acceleration and deceleration
in the X and Y directions. It is used to validate the plausibil-
ity of defined accident events in the longitudinal (X) and
transverse directions (Y).

Crash signal
The AirbagControl Module J234 registers vehicle collisions
based on the information supplied by internal and external
crash sensors. Depending on the severity of the accident
event, the collisions are classified as "minor" or "severe".
An accident event classified as minor is again subdivided
into several dierent accident severities.
Center Crash Sensor for X/Y Axis G858
A severe accident event exists if restraint systems, such as
safety belt tensioners and airbags, are deployed. The
airbagcontrol module indicates the accident severity and
collision levels to the data bus. Other bus users receive this
crash signal and can then take the appropriate action, for
example, shutting o the fuel supply.
If the vehicle is equipped with dynamic all-wheel-drive
steering or quattro with sport dierential, the driving
dynamics control sensors are duplicated in the airbag
control module. The duplication of the sensors provides
sensor signal redundancy (multiple signals).
