Transverse Acceleration Sensor (AY Sensor): Diagnosis/Troubleshooting

DIAGNOSIS/TROUBLESHOOTING - FAULT CODE 4400

Work instruction Display OK If not OK
1 Check fault memory
  • Read out PSM fault memory with the Porsche System Tester II 9588
  • Fault code entries 4400, 4420 and 4440
Step 2
  • Fault code entry 4400 only
Step 5
2 Check positive supply to sensors for open circuit
  • Ignition off
  • Pull plug off transverse acceleration sensor
  • Ignition on
  • Measure voltage between pin 3 of transverse acceleration sensor plug and ground
> 11 V
 
Step 3
Open circuit between pin 39 of PSM control unit plug and pin 3 of transverse acceleration sensor plug
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
3 Check ground supply line to sensors for short circuit to B+
  • Ignition off
  • Pull plug off PSM control unit
  • Ignition on
  • Measure voltage between pin 6 of transverse acceleration sensor plug and ground
< 0.3 V
 
Step 4
Short circuit to B+ between pin 21 of PSM control unit plug and pin 6 of transverse acceleration sensor
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
4 Check ground supply line for open circuit
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 6 of transverse acceleration sensor plug and ground
< 5
 
Step 5
Open circuit between pin 21 of PSM control unit plug and pin 6 of transverse acceleration sensor plug
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
5 Check signal lead of transverse acceleration sensor for short circuit to B+
  • Ignition off
  • Pull plug off PSM control unit
  • Pull plug off transverse acceleration sensor
  • Ignition on
  • Measure voltage between pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor plug and ground
< 0.3 V
 
Step 6
Short circuit to B+ between pin 8 of PSM control unit plug and pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
6 Check signal lead of transverse acceleration sensor for short circuit to ground
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor plug and ground
< 5
 
Step 7
Short circuit to ground between pin 8 of PSM control unit plug and pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor plug
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
7 Check signal lead of transverse acceleration sensor for open circuit
  • Ignition off
  • Measure resistance between pin 8 of PSM control unit plug and pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor plug
< 5
 
Step 8
Open circuit between pin 8 of PSM control unit plug and pin 5 of transverse acceleration sensor plug
 
Repair wiring harness
 
End
8
  • Replace rate-of-turn sensor
