Can I disconnect my YAW sensor for performance?

So listen , I understand all the safety concern's that might come with the answers and I get all that . But listen. I'm a motorhead who can drive and drive hard I don't need the vehicle adding any braking to individual wheels or automatic decrease in power when yaw sensor/cpu notices me digging into a turn or hammer I down on purpose ECT ECT . Every vehicle I build up I do what septates from the normal. Last I did was a 2 door gmc Yukon gt , before that a 98 explorer with 347 stroker/nos... And many before like that. Now I've already stripped down the inside of this 05 Aviator. I chose this because it's relatively light and has an excellent wheel base ECT ECT and I wanna get into this 4.6.... So if I simply unplug this yaw sensor I found under rear center console , will I notice less restrictions when hammering down the road?

If the ECU monitors it then with no signals it will place you in limp mode.

    So in other words I should've picked a different truck to modify for "fun,speed,ECT" driving? Basically was ultimately going to stick a stock 4.6 supercharger and deal with whatever mods needed to accommodate from there seeing it's a stock cobra motor. I'm not necessarily gonna try to push past it's limits But I'm looking for a piece of mind knowing this "until" isn't going to detect wheel spin & apply individual wheel braking, increased brake power , change in hp/torque output ECT... I read all these things can go into effect when system sees things. LMAO if my wheels are spinning it's cause I want em too I don't know any way around this thing.... So am I stuck with a nanny truck?

    Re programme the ECU to ignore the signals that won't be there.

    Thanks . When it comes to that part of my builds I fallback on " I gotta guy" for that . Gone are the true mechanical car days . Everything today is all electronics. Thanks again

Where is my yaw rate sensor located on a 2011 Honda Odyssey?

The yaw rate sensor on a 2011 Honda Odyssey is typically located in the center of the vehicle, underneath the floorboard. Specifically, it can usually be found near the center of the vehicle, just behind the front seats and in front of the rear seats.

If you are having trouble locating the sensor, consult your vehicle's owner manual or consider taking your vehicle to a certified Honda mechanic for assistance. They should be able to help you locate and diagnose any issues with your vehicle's yaw rate sensor.

Hi, got Swift 2014 1.4L here, has ESP light on. Got DTC C1023 and Yaw rate sensor in yaw rate/ G sensor circuit assembly failure. Anybody has idea where will be this yaw sensor!!

These sensors are usually mounted on the floor underneath the driver's seat close to the vehicles centre of gravity. This is the sensor the vehicle uses the detect if the vehicle is about to spin/skid sideways.

I have a 2007 they suburban taho and the stabill track light is on

The Stability System is part of the anti lock brakes ! The place to start is
Diagnostic Starting Point - Antilock Brake System
Begin the system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle .The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information:
?€¢
The identification of the control modules which command the system


?€¢
The ability of the control modules to communicate through the serial data circuit


?€¢
The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status

The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
This Is going to be Greek to you probably ! This is where a up scale scan tool is needed , or a factory one ! Your going to need to have vehicle scanned for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes ! Is the ABS light on as well ?
A sample of DTC'S
DTC C0186 00: Lateral Accelerometer Circuit

DTC C0186 5A: Lateral Accelerometer Circuit Erratic
DTC C0196 00: Yaw Rate Circuit

DTC C0196 5A: Yaw Rate Circuit Erratic
DTC C0252 00: VSES Sensor Uncorrelated
The Vehicle Stability Enhancement System (VSES) is activated by the electronic brake control module (EBCM) and calculates the desired yaw rate and comparing it to the actual yaw rate input. The desired yaw rate is calculated from measured steering wheel position, vehicle speed, and lateral acceleration. The difference between the desired yaw rate and actual yaw rate is the yaw rate error, which is a measurement of oversteer or understeer. If the yaw rate error becomes to large, the EBCM will attempt to correct the vehicles yaw motion by applying differential braking to the left or right front wheel.
This is a problem you should take to the dealer or a ASE certified repair shop ! Or you can try to reset the system by disconnecting the battery cables an touching the cable ends together for 60 seconds ! But if there is a real fault in the system ( bad sensor ) The light will come back on ! Maybe not right away ! A couple of days or weeks etc....

Reset yaw rate sensor

It is there for a reason and if you think that you can control a skid situation then do so. But a dealer spare will be costly so I would look around for an after market unit or one from the Toyota wreckers and have it fitted . It might just save your life.

I went to the Honda dealership with my 2006 Honda Odyssey for the VSA light on. They told me its a YAW Sensor and they want $700.00 to fix it. Honda tells me ther eis no recall for this problem. Is there a...

I dont see any bulletins on the sensor having issues. the yaw sensor also referred to as roll rate sensor is located under the drivers seat. an option for you might be to replace sensor yourself and just have dealer perform the setup procedure.to replace you will need to remove the drivers seat to gain access and be very careful not to drop new sensor. might get lucky and install and light goes off with no further action,but if not most dealers will charge an hour labor to program/setup
