Yaw Rate Sensor
Measures vehicle rotation around its vertical axis for stability control.
The yaw rate sensor detects sideways movement to prevent skidding or rollover. It works with the steering angle and wheel speed sensors to stabilize the car during sudden maneuvers. A failing sensor triggers stability control warnings. Mounting orientation and calibration are critical for accuracy. It's vital for electronic stability and rollover prevention systems.
