1. A lateral acceleration sensor breakdown detection device configured to carry out a breakdown determination control for determining that the lateral acceleration sensor has a breakdown when a difference between an actual lateral acceleration acting on a four wheel drive vehicle measured by the lateral acceleration sensor installed on the vehicle and an estimated lateral acceleration calculated from predetermined parameters that express a condition of the vehicle, whereinwhile the vehicle is turning, when rotation speed of an outer wheel from among left and right wheels is equal to or less than rotation speed of an inner wheel from among the left and right wheels, and when an actual lateral acceleration is less than an estimated lateral acceleration and the difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the breakdown determination control is suspended.
