Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.

C0196 00
- Inspect the yaw rate sensor for proper and secure mounting.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer connector.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
- If greater than 1 ohm, remove the EBCM connector and test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the low reference terminal 22 and ground terminal 16 of the EBCM. If less than 1 ohm, then repair the low reference circuit or the EBCM ground circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If greater than 1 ohm then replace the EBCM.
- Test the yaw rate sensor signal circuit terminal 3, the lateral accelerometer signal circuit terminal 2, the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1, and the low reference circuit terminal 6 for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage or ground.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the yaw and lateral acceleration sensor, and clear the yaw rate sensor offset value in the EBCM.
- If the DTC sets again after replacing the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer, replace the EBCM.
C0196 28
- If DTC C0196 00 is also set as current then diagnose that DTC first.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the yaw and lateral acceleration sensor connector.
- Measure the resistance between the yaw rate frequency circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If the resistance is outside 4.5k +/- 2k ohms, remove the EBCM connector and measure the resistance between terminals 9 and 16 on the EBCM. If the measured resistance is outside 4.5k +/- 2k ohms, then replace the EBCM. Otherwise test the yaw rate diagnostic circuit terminal 4 for an open circuit or short to ground. This includes all bulkhead and splice connectors in the harness between the EBCM and the sensor.
- If the yaw rate diagnostic circuit tests normal, replace the yaw and lateral acceleration sensor, and clear the yaw rate sensor DTCs in the EBCM.
- If the DTC sets again, replace the EBCM.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
