C124F 2016 GMC Sierra Code - Lateral Acceleration Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

Quick Answer

The Yaw Rate, Lateral Acceleration, and Longitudinal Acceleration Sensors are combined into one Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor, internal to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module. Common causes include Faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM), Transmission Control Module harness is open or shorted, Transmission Control Module circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code C124F 2016 GMC Sierra Description

The Yaw Rate, Lateral Acceleration, and Longitudinal Acceleration Sensors are combined into one Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor, internal to the Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module. The Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor communicates with the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) via serial data. The Electronic Brake Control Module activates the stability control function depending on the Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor input. The Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module uses the Multi-Axis Acceleration Sensor to determine if the vehicle is in a rollover or near collision incident. The Transmission Control Module sets this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)s. The DTC will be set when the Transmission Control Module detects a fault that prevents it from performing a hill hold function.
