What this code means

  • ESC disabled warning

Common causes

  • Sensor internal calibration drift
  • Sensor mounting misaligned
  • Aftermarket suspension modification affecting sensor plane
  • Temperature-related sensor drift

Diagnostic steps

  1. Check yaw rate sensor output at standstill (should read zero)
  2. Perform yaw rate sensor calibration

  4. Check for aftermarket suspension modifications
  5. Inspect for related lateral acceleration sensor codes

Repair notes

Recalibrate yaw rate sensor. If bias returns, replace sensor assembly.
