It depends what kind of sensor and how it is wired.

Usually the "sensor ground" refers to the ground source at the sensor's plug. Usually that leads back to the ECM. Sometimes it's the threads where the sensor screws into the vehicle.

If a wire brakes or corrosion builds up between parts the resistance can change, thus why measurements are taken from sensor ground.

What sensor do you change for chassis acceleration sensor signal high that was your read out on a diagnostic read?

If the diagnostic readout indicates a high signal from the chassis acceleration sensor, the likely component to replace is the chassis acceleration sensor itself. This sensor detects changes in acceleration and is critical for various vehicle stability systems. Additionally, it's important to inspect the wiring and connectors for any damage or corrosion, as these can also cause erroneous readings. After replacing the sensor, clear any diagnostic trouble codes and retest the system to ensure proper functionality.
