C0288Yaw Rate Sensor Range
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- No reachable J2012 list carries C0288, and no known maker files a yaw rate range fault under it. GM's PIP5094 contains the number, and AA1Car's GM brake table gives it a quite different meaning: Brake Warning Lamp Circuit Shorted to B+. The title describes a yaw rate signal that leaves its permitted span. Where GM documents that case, it uses C019B instead: on the 2011 Saab 9-5 the brake module flags a yaw signal out of its specified range and then turns ESP and the hill start aid off until the next ignition cycle. The older Saab 9-5 sensor covers about ±138 degrees per second, reads zero at rest and is checked every 20 ms. Bosch explains the micromechanical Coriolis measurement used in such sensors.
