• Q: How to service and repair the Yaw Sensor on 2006 Toyota RAV4?

  A: Service and repair of the Yaw Rate Sensor begins with disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal while waiting 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. The next step requires separation of the front seat assembly from the left side regardless of manual or power seat and subsequent removal of the left front door scuff plate. First unscrew the bracket bolt before disconnecting the sensor connector followed by removing its two bolts but never separate the sensor from the bracket. The yaw rate sensor assembly needs two bolts installation followed by secure bolt torque to 14.5 N.m (148 kgf.cm, 11 ft.lbf) before reconnecting its connector. Proceed with the yaw rate sensor bracket installation by using the provided bolt which must reach 14.5 N.m (148 kgf.cm, 11 ft.lbf) torque value. Afterwards, attach the front door scuff plate while installing the front seat assembly on the left side. To finish the procedure attach the cable to the negative battery terminal before executing zero point calibrations on the yaw rate sensor and deceleration sensor followed by testing the yaw rate signal.
