Default Yaw Rate Sensor Location???

This weekend my VSC, ABS, and VSC OFF lights came on after the car was started. (2000 Lexus GS400) I have used my shop manual to determine that the YAW RATE SENSOR may be faulty. I think I want to replace it, but have absolutely no idea where it is located on the car. Any help from you fellow members would be greatly appreciated. And if I fix the problem successfully, I will post the repair DIY.

i sure hope it isn't the sensor...sounds costly. If you have a 98, IIRC, there is a recall for it due to a cell phone signal messing it up.

I have that same light pop up on my dash and it ended up being a dirty throttle body.

The Yaw sensor is located in the center console under the VSC switch. Its a box about the size of a 20pk ciggy's
