Abstract
A system and method calculates a vehicle load on a suspension system of a vehicle using a plurality of tilt angle sensors. The angle sensors are attached to the suspension system and configured to measure an angle with respect to gravity. A first angle sensor is configured to measure a first angle. A second sensor configured to measure a second angle. The measured first and second angles are combined to obtain a combined value representative of a vehicle load adjusted for tilt.
