ATA tilt sensor, function - GF80.50-P-4105-01T

Function 

The electrodes in the ATA tilt sensor (B33) are immersed partially in an electrolyte (electrically conductive fluid). Changes in the conductance between the electrodes alert the sensor to changes in the vehicle's inclination.

When the vehicle is parked, the value for the vehicle position is stored. Each change in the inclination change greater than 1° along the vehicle longitudinal or lateral axis actuates a pulse. This signal is relayed to the rear SAM control module with fuse and relay module (N10/2) which outputs an ATA alarm
