Can anyone shed some light on where the Yaw Rate Sensor is located on my 2005 LS430?
Is this something serviceable from home or is it a dealer only device?
The VSC light on the dash is on and the Lexus Dealer said they found the error code for the "Yaw Rate Sensor" during a vehicle health inspection.
Is this a Lexus only part and how many hundreds of dollars is this going to cost?
Hi Trader
Thanks for responding to my issue.
Unfortunately the Lexus dealer did not provide the code only a written description stating the Yaw Rate Sensor needed to be replaced.
I've tried two different scanners on my car and they do not show any codes.
Thanks for the diagram, I'll check the electrical connection to the sensor.
The VSc light is on and so is the Traction Off light.
I tried the procedure connecting Ts to CG on connector DLC3 with no change.
Is this the sensor that also downshifts the transmission when you are going down a hill and hit the brakes?
The Yaw rate sensor measures side-to-side (the rate you steer the direction of your vehicle) movement of the vehicle. The up-and-down movement is measured with the Pitch rate sensor.
I can find two (2) possible part numbers poking around the internet but can't nail it down to one I can trust.
I see some for $300 and others for $500.
Does anyone know for sure if this P/N is correct for a 2005 LS430 Yaw Rate Sensor?

Anyone have the Lexus Part Number for a "Yaw Rate Sensor"? (2005 LS430)
I was hoping to try a used one from ebay rather than spend $500 on a shot.
Need a part number to do that.
