Yaw Rate Sensor Circuit

The stability control module has detected an implausible signal from the yaw rate sensor. The yaw sensor measures rotation around the vertical axis and is essential for ESP — a fault disables stability control.

Affected components

  • Yaw rate sensor
  • Esp control module
  • Sensor cluster

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Yaw rate sensor failed
  • Medium likelihood: Sensor not calibrated after replacement or alignment
  • Low likelihood: Wiring or connector fault

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically
