The Chassis Acceleration Sensor (CAS) consists of a piezoelectric vibration pick up which detects vertical acceleration of the vehicle. The sensor signal is used by the ECM to determine the degree of vertical movement of the car, for example, on a bumpy road. Since this may also cause uneven engine running, the ECM uses the signal to distinguish the phenomenon from actual misfiring.
ECM sets DTC P1308 if the ECM detects signal voltage lower than the possible range of a properly operation CAS.
