Yaw Rate Sensor Range/Performance

The yaw rate sensor signal is implausible relative to steering angle and lateral acceleration.

Affected components

  • Yaw rate sensor
  • Lateral g sensor
  • Steering angle sensor

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Sensor drift with age
  • Medium likelihood: Sensor mounting loose
  • Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

Possible symptoms

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