• Q: How to install a Yaw Sensor on 2009 Toyota Highlander?

  A: The yaw rate and acceleration sensor installation requires 2 bolts which should be tightened to 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) but the sensor claw must be inserted into the stopper hole during installation. The stopper hole demands that you insert the sensor claw during installation to prevent sensor damage while ensuring proper installation. The sensor connector must be properly connected and maintained to its attachment point. Next, mount the Front No. 2 console box insert and afterward put in the Front No. 1 console box insert. Proceed with console box assembly installation either with the rear air conditioning system equipment or without it according to the appropriate sequence. Proceed with the installation of the lower rear console box and continue with the No. 2 console box duct (except for vehicles without rear air conditioning alongside the upper console panel sub-assembly and lower instrument panel sub-assembly and No. 2 instrument panel under cover sub-assembly. Heat up the cowl side trim sub-assembly RH alongside the front door scuff plate RH and set them in position. After that, install the lower instrument panel finish panel sub-assembly for automatic as well as manual air conditioning systems. The installer needs to uninstall both the cowl side trim sub-assembly LH and the front door scuff plate LH. Use the center instrument cluster finish panel assembly that includes the Smart Key System feature or the plain version if it does not contain that system. Finish by linking the cable terminal to the negative battery clamp while some systems need a post-reconnection initialization followed by yaw rate and acceleration sensor zero point calibration and a yaw rate sensor signal check.
