WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The stability control system sensors consist of the yaw rate sensor, roll rate sensor, lateral accelerometer and longitudinal accelerometer. The stability/traction control system sensors are contained within the Restraints Control Module (RCM). The RCM provides the ABS module with the sensor information along a dedicated Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
The stability control system sensors are not serviceable separately from the RCM . If a new sensor is needed, a new RCM must be installed.

An open or short to power or ground in one of the CAN bus circuits, a communications concern on the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus or an internal failure of the sensor can cause one or more of these DTCs to set. |
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- RCM
- ABS module
