Yaw rate/G sensor(CAN message)
AI status
Completed
Completed
100%
Causes
- Yaw rate / G sensor fault or internal failure
- Loss of power or ground to the sensor (blown fuse, open circuit)
- CAN bus wiring fault (open, short to battery/ground, high resistance)
- Poor or corroded connector at the sensor or intermediate harness
- CAN bus termination problem or bus wiring short between CAN_H and CAN_L
- Intermittent module wake/boot or software mismatch between modules
Symptoms
- ABS, ESC/TC or stability warning lamp illuminated
- Loss or reduction of stability/traction control functions
- Possible stored or additional CAN communication trouble codes
- Reduced vehicle handling assistance during maneuvers (intermittent or continuous)
- Possible limp-mode behavior where ECU limits torque (vehicle-dependent)
What to check
- Read all stored/freeze-frame codes from all modules; note occurrence and related U-codes
- Check battery voltage and ground quality; low voltage can cause CAN faults
- Visually inspect sensor connector and harness for damage, corrosion, pin push-out or water ingress
- Verify fuses and power/ground circuits for the yaw/G sensor
- Use a CAN-capable scan tool to check for the yaw sensor message presence and frequency on the bus
- Measure CAN_H and CAN_L differential with an oscilloscope or CAN tester; check for expected waveforms
Signal parameters
- Yaw-rate message expected: periodic CAN message ID specific to manufacturer (check manufacturer data)
- Message frequency: typically periodic (several Hz to tens of Hz) while ignition on and vehicle awake
- Yaw rate value range typically spans ± (tens to a few hundred) degrees/sec depending on sensor model
- Lateral acceleration (G) range typically ±1 to ±3 g depending on sensor
- CAN bus idle voltages: CAN_H and CAN_L near mid-supply (~2.5 V) with differential signaling when active
- Message integrity: correct checksum/CRC and expected byte format (manufacturer-specific)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Confirm U1125 and note any related codes from ABS/ECU/gateway modules. Record freeze-frame and live data availability.
- Verify battery voltage (12 V nominal) and good chassis/engine grounds before further testing.
- Inspect sensor connector and wiring for physical damage; repair any obvious issues.
- Check sensor power and ground pins for proper voltage/continuity with ignition on.
- Using a CAN-capable scan tool, observe whether the yaw/G sensor CAN message is present and at correct frequency. If message is present but values are implausible, suspect sensor calibration/accuracy or data corruption.
- If message is absent, use an oscilloscope or CAN tester at the sensor connector to confirm bus activity and waveform quality on CAN_H and CAN_L. Look for noise, missing recessive/dominant transitions, or shorts.
- Measure termination resistance across CAN_H and CAN_L (approx. 60 ohms). Repair any open or incorrect termination.
- Trace and repair wiring faults (shorts to battery/ground, opens) between the sensor and the nearest network node or ABS module.
- If wiring and bus are good, replace the yaw rate/G sensor with a known-good unit and retest. Some replacements require calibration or module coding—perform as required.
- Clear codes and perform a road test to confirm repair. If fault returns, expand diagnostics to gateway/ABS/ECU modules and consider manufacturer software updates or module replacement.
Likely causes
- Open/poor connection at the sensor connector or harness
- Sensor not transmitting (power/ground or internal sensor failure)
- CAN bus communication fault (short, open, or missing termination)
- Control module that receives/forwards sensor message has failed or gone to sleep
Fault status
Status
