Hi lads,

Are we talking about the Lateral G sensor here?

I've got fault 16 (lateral G sensor or circuit)

Symptoms were when I got the car running it was fine, then stated to intermittently flash when going over bumps but still worked.

Now is on all the time with the ABS, any ideas? I'm going to pull it apart next weekend

You could have a faulty g sensor (under centre consule)

I had both abs and awd lights on. After fixing a ground wire (was lose by the shifting pedal) and replacing the g sensor, both lights are gone.

If I were u, I would try a good used g sensor (~$150).

Best wishes

G sensors are repairable, ive fixed a few.

Most times its one of the 2 ceramic caps has blown inside, $1 later and with the use of a soldering iron and quick re-trim the of the variable pots for voltage outputs and its good to go.

Hy 32 mates. (I'm french and english is hard for me^^)

I have the same problem. I will try to repair my g sensor before to buy a do luck system...

One of my cap is dead i think. I read all the topic, and there is just one thing that i don't understand. 

If i understand, there are 2 caps (one 10f 25v, and another 15f 25v), and you replace this 2 differents caps by 2 identics caps 10f 35v ?

Hi, I could really use some help calibrating my 33 v spec g sensor cos I can't view the photos in the original post so I don't know where to adjust and to measure the output voltages. Attached are photos of my G sensor already removed and exposed. Really hope someone can help, would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time and assistance.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
