Stability Control Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The stability control sensors for the AdvanceTrac® system include the yaw rate sensor and the lateral accelerometer. The yaw rate sensor and the lateral accelerometer are able to detect and measure changes in vehicle direction that indicate the need for the ABS to make corrections that help prevent vehicle roll over or spin outs. The sensors are housed in the RCM which sends sensor information to the ABS module over the Controller Area Network (CAN). Install a new RCM if any of the sensors are damaged.
