Acceleration monitor for vehicle

A method for monitoring an electronically controlled drive unit of a vehicle uses actual vehicle acceleration and a preselected vehicle acceleration. Actual acceleration is determined from any of an acceleration sensor (50) or vehicle speed sensors (30,32). When actual acceleration is greater than t...

More Information
Summary:A method for monitoring an electronically controlled drive unit of a vehicle uses actual vehicle acceleration and a preselected vehicle acceleration. Actual acceleration is determined from any of an acceleration sensor (50) or vehicle speed sensors (30,32). When actual acceleration is greater than the preselected acceleration, a reaction is initiated to reduce vehicle acceleration.
