  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ξ© between the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor voltage (12 V reference) circuit terminal 1 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EBCM
  5. Test for less than 1 Ξ© in each serial data circuit between the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor and the EBCM.
    • Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor serial data circuit terminal 2 and EBCM serial data circuit terminal 33
    • Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor serial data circuit terminal 3 and EBCM serial data circuit terminal 21
    • If greater than the specified value, test the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor serial data circuits terminals 2 and 3 for an open/high resistance.
  6. If all circuits test normal, replace the Yaw and Lateral Accelerometer Sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
