Code result
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.
