  1. Verify DTC C0196 00 is not set.
    • If DTC C0196 00 is set, refer to the above diagnostic procedure for C0196 00 before proceeding.
  2. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer.
  3. Test for 118k ohms between the yaw rate diagnostic signal circuit terminal 4 and ground.
    • If greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
    • If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the EBCM.
  4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the yaw rate sensor/lateral accelerometer. After replacement and programming, operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC and verify DTC C0196 28 does not set.
    • If the DTC sets, replace the EBCM.
