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.
DTC C1283: Yaw Rate & G Sensor-Signal: General Description
When the vehicle drives in a vertical axis, the plate fork inside the yaw rate sensor detects the variations of electrical oscillations. If the vehicle yawing reaches a specified yaw rate, ESC(ESP) control resumes. A lateral acceleration sensor detects lateral acceleration of the vehicle. Inside the sensor, there is a small element attached on a lever arm that can be deflected by lateral acceleration. Based on the capacitance that varies with the lateral acceleration, the direction and the scale of the lateral acceleration acting on the vehicle can be identified. The sensor exchanges signals with IBAU using a separate CAN bus line. 4WD and ESC(ESP) vehicles have a longitudinal acceleration sensor assembled together with the yaw rate & lateral G sensor.

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.
