A lateral-G sensor determines if the car is braking in a corner and directs more braking force to the outer rear wheel which has more traction to apply it.

Have no idea what that means

Better get it checked out though.

Surely this is only with the newer cars and not on an MY99 car?

Was is a dealer you took the car to?

it is also part of the airbag system to determine how hard the impact is
