The part number is 89183A. It's located under your shifter/center console area.

This is an ABS/VSC system code. C1233 means either the Zero Point Calibration (ABS system / Yaw sensor) has not been done or the voltage coming out of the sensor is out of spec.

Have your repair person run the calibration. If it fails to correct the issue, or will not complete replace the sensor.

Zero calibration is not something you can do without the proper equipment. However there is a Jumper method Via the DCL3 port on the repair manual, its been posted on previous threads.

I believe the Yaw rate is located underneath the front arm rest console

As far as I knew using a capable scan tool (factory or other high end) was the only way to perform the Zero Cal. But based on the other replies here there is a manual method. Have a go at it and check back.
