The simple answer?
No.
The more complicated answer?
If you are not much of an electronics/avionics buff, or willing to study the necessary subjects, a detailed explanation is largely wasted because "yeah, but computers can have minds of their own and be hacked!"
This is, basically, a series of accelerometers that provides data about motion relative to an axis. You can think of it as a somewhat more sophisticated dimmer switch that works by detecting how a crystal's vibration changes when there is a change in velocity.
It's extremely unlikely that this is the cause of plane crashes. It is not absolutely impossible, but you are looking at a device with no capacity for external communication. There would be a number of I/O boards this interfaces with before that I/O is processed by an FPGA and/or series of processors.
It's not impossible, theoretically speaking, to interfere with the signal coming from these devices and cause problems for an airplane - but you are talking about a shielded wiring system and substantial variation in implementation between airframes. I would be far more suspicious of the China/Taiwan manufacturers of 95% of all electronics/boards than I would a particular device.
Again - it's not impossible, strictly speaking, but it would take far less effort to exploit or create a hole higher up in an aircraft's virtual instruments than it would to try and directly mess with a shielded sensor input. If you are going that route, then you have exhausted most other, more likely angles of attack. And a firmware update could patch out your attempts to meddle.
