2007 v50. Yaw sensor

Smith428 · Post by **Smith428** » 26 Oct 2013, 13:48

Hi, new on here so please be kind
I have the anti skid disabled message which has been diagnosed by the dealer as yaw sensor fault, but, where is the yaw sensor located on the v50? I would like to at least check connections etc before letting the dealer loose on the car.

Thanks

Under the center console to the rear.

Just had the entire centre console out, could only find an airbag sensor, so the search continues, am I looking in the right place? Or is it placed neatly out of the way somewhere?

OK, then on yours it is under the RH seat. Loosen seat bolts and tip seat forward and block it up out of your way. Pull back the carpet and it is under the floor beam.

Hi, found it under the carpet, under the drivers seat, thanks very much for your help. If I fit a new one will it need coding to the car?

Sort of. There is no software but the system should be calibrated. The sensors should have static values that are the same but there can be some range. Calibration is done with steering pointed straight ahead and car sitting on truly level surface. The command in VIDA is selected and started and it reads all values and sets those as the zero point values. Then when driven BCM adapts the steering wheel inputs to sensor inputs at lower road speeds where lesser lateral acceleration is occurring. You can in many cases install the new sensor and it all works fine and sets no codes as the zero values are within the tolerance allowed.

NOTE left hand drive users, the car in this post is right hand drive. "driver's seat" is the right side seat.
