C0196 – Yaw Rate Circuit

C0196 Possible Symptoms

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light ON,Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

C0196 Possible Causes

Faulty Yaw Sensor/Lateral Accelerometer Sensor,Yaw Sensor/Lateral Accelerometer Sensor harness is open or shorted,Yaw Sensor/Lateral Accelerometer Sensor circuit poor electrical connection

C0196 Description

The yaw rate and the lateral accelerometer sensors are combined into one sensor, external to the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). The vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) uses the lateral accelerometer input when calculating the desired yaw rate. The yaw rate/lat sensor communicates with the EBCM via discrete CAN Bus High and CAN Bus Low serial data circuits.
