C0288

Yaw Rate Sensor Range

Moderate severity

What it means

The stability control module has detected that the yaw rate sensor signal is outside the plausible range during stable driving. This typically indicates a sensor offset, an incorrect mounting or a degraded sensor element.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Sensor not calibrated

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Yaw rate sensor failed

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Sensor cluster mounted incorrectly

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
