Anti-Towing, Inclination Sensor

The electrodes in the ATA inclination sensor (B33) are partially immersed in an electrolyte (electrically conductive liquid). If the conductive value between the electrodes changes the sensor recognizes a change in the inclination of the vehicle. When the vehicle is parked the value for the vehicle position is stored.

If the vehicle is moved with a certain inclination in longitudinal and/or lateral direction for a certain reaction time when the ATA is activated, the ATA inclination sensor (B33) transmits a signal to the PSE control module (combined) (A37).
