What Is A Yaw Rate Sensor

A car’s computer has a lot of responsibilities. Not only does it need to gauge speed and emissions and all the parts associated with their function, but it needs to keep your huge, lightning fast vehicle fully stable. This is what the yaw rate sensor helps with - staying balanced. By measuring the angular velocity of your car, your vehicle can adjust the brakes to make sure you don’t go flying when you expected to be driving.

Common Signs And Symptoms That You Need to Replace A Yaw Rate Sensor

• Stability Control light turns on
• Stability Control light never works even while moving quickly during deep turns
