2007 Toyota Tacoma Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to properly service the Yaw Sensor for optimal performance on 2007 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: A proper service of the VSC Yaw Rate and Deceleration Sensor starts with negative battery terminal cable disconnect. The servicing procedure for bench seat types requires removal of front seat inner belt assemblies from left and right sides as well as front seat headrest assemblies alongside front seat assemblies themselves. The front seat assembly and the separate seat track cover must be eliminated when servicing these models. Begin by taking off the front floor footrest coupled with the front door scuff plates from all Regular Cab, Access Cab as well as Double Cab designs. You must remove cowl side trim boards for each cab version and the sensor bracket by first turning up the floor carpet and then unclamping the wire harness and unbolting the bracket. Begin sensor replacement by disconnecting the connector of the yaw rate sensor then removing its two securing bolts. Attach the yaw rate sensor to its place by using its two bolts while maintaining the proper installation angle before connecting the sensor connector. After securing the bracket with its bolt install the wire harness clamp. The cab procedures require reinstalling all cowl side trim boards followed by replacing front door scuff plates. Then install the front floor footrest. Assemble the front seat assembly according to the separate seat design and bench seat design while including installation of the headrest and inner belt assemblies. After connecting the negative battery cable with the torque of 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf), complete yaw rate sensor zero point calibration while checking the VSC sensor signal.
