What is a yaw sensor?
A yaw sensor, also known as a yaw rate sensor or yaw rate gyroscope, measures the vehicle's angular velocity around its vertical axis. It helps determine the car's rotation and is important for stability control systems.
How does a yaw sensor work?
The yaw sensor detects the vehicle's rate of rotation around its vertical axis and sends this data to the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. The ESC uses this information, along with data from other sensors, to adjust braking and engine power to prevent skidding or rollover.
How can I tell if my yaw sensor is going bad?
Some of the most common symptoms of a faulty yaw sensor include the ESC warning light or ABS warning light illuminating on the dash, reduced stability and control, and unexpected braking.
How long do yaw sensors typically last?
Yaw sensors are designed to last the lifetime of your car, but they can fail due to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you do need to replace your yaw sensor, Malouf Parts Xperts will have what you need. Please feel free to contact our team if you have any questions or need expert shopping advice.
