Q: How to replace the Yaw Sensor on Toyota 4Runner?
A: The procedure to replace the Yaw Rate Sensor begins with removing the console upper rear panel sub-assy and then moving to console panel sub-assy upper followed by console upper panel garnish No.1 and No.2. The procedure requires disconnecting the yawrate sensor connector after extracting the console box assy rear. Then use a T30 torque to remove the two bolts securing the yawrate sensor. You must hold the new yawrate sensor with two bolts while applying torque at 13.3 Nm (136 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.) until proper bolt security then reconnect the yawrate sensor connector. The repair process includes installing the console box assy rear followed by console upper panel garnish No.2 and No.1 then the console panel sub-assy upper and ending with the console upper rear panel sub-assy. Conduct yawrate sensor zero point calibration and check VSC sensor signal.
A: The first step to Yaw Rate Sensor replacement is uninstalling the console panel upper rear along with the rear console box. Remove the yawrate sensor connector before you loosen its two securing bolts. The new yawrate sensor installation requires two bolts which need to be placed through the holes while applying 12.5 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque before reconnecting the yawrate sensor connector. After installation of the console panel upper rear and the rear console box complete the process. The relevant testing and inspection procedures require performing both yawrate sensor zero point calibration and deceleration sensor zero point calibration.
Q: How to remove the Yaw Sensor with VSC on Toyota Tacoma?
A: The first step to remove the Yaw Rate Sensor with VSC is disconnecting the negative battery cable. The bench seat type requires removal of front seat inner belt assembly LH followed by front seat inner belt assembly RH and subsequent front seat headrest assembly as well as the front seat assembly. The process starts by taking out the seat track cover followed by the removal of the front seat assembly for separate seat types. Begin by taking out the front floor footrest yet follow with the removal of front door scuff plates that apply to all Regular Cab, Access Cab and Double Cab models. Nobody can operate on Double Cab, Access Cab and Regular Cab vehicles until they remove the cowl side trim boards. Proceed to the floor carpet and raise it to reach the sensor bracket before removing the wire harness clamp and the bolt and bracket. The installation process ends with disconnecting the connector of the yaw rate sensor followed by removing the 2 bolts that secure the yaw rate sensor.
