This sensor detects a deviation of the vehicle from the centerline of the vehicle such as in a skid, the computer which is part of the skid control and abs system then adjusts the brake and throttle to pull the car out of the skid, the driver is not in control at that time until the vehicle skid is recovered, it is also a deceleration sensor. The yaw rate sensor does nothing under normal conditions
what are you replacing? The YAW rate sensor? And why. are you have traction problems. Like your vsc lights coming on and your truck lossing control once applying brakes traveling at over 50mph? I had those same problems. If that's the case, tell me and i will be able to give you good advice.
I had the same problem after I changed my brake pads. I found out later that it had nothing to do with the brakes. I had the codes on a piece of paper, but iI wound op throwing it away so I dont know if this is your exact problem. My problem was a part called a YAW RATE SENSOR . The part was about $500.00 including installation by an independent repair shop. Something else that I noticed was when you first start up and drive off, there are two small click sounds that are normal. After the warning lights came on, I did not hear those clicks. After the Yaw rate sensor was replaced, the clicks came back.
I had the same problem. the jerking breaking and pulling to one side, but if u are going over 70 miles and that happens to you, you better start praying cause it will **** so hard that its hard to control. the yaw rate sensor (prox $400 on line) needs to be replace and adjustment (i beleave only the dealer can adjust). What I did to solve the problem is to eliminate the sensor ($0 cost). now my SUV drives and handle just like a regular truck without traction control. Toyota is not helping on this matter and dealers just dont care. I will not put my family thru the same scarry ride. My solution eliminate the sensor, the light is on @ all time but in return a smooth ride. Im not telling you to do what I did, but Im telling you it is the Yaw Rate Sensor. Good luck.
I did research on line and all indicates that is caused by the YAW RATE SENSOR. It nedds to be replace and adjust. I have the same problem but havent find the time to get to it. When I do I will post it. If you do it before I do please email me with the result at [email protected]
Good luck
