U0513Invalid Data Received From Yaw Rate Sensor Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- A yaw rate sensor reports how quickly the body rotates about its vertical axis, and stability control weighs that rotation against steering angle, wheel speeds and sideways acceleration. U0513 means frames from a separate yaw rate sensor module do arrive, but the receiver rejects them: value out of range, invalid-status bit, wrong counter or checksum. No manufacturer publishes setting criteria for this code. GM's 2011 Saab 9-5 shows a different layout: yaw and lateral sensing share one multi-axis unit, and corrupt frames are stored as U0125 with failure types 71, 72 or 74. Toyota's Sequoia case (NHTSA PE16-006) shows the physical risk, as a drifting offset produced unwanted brake pulses until VSC switched itself off. Expect ESC and traction lamps and no stability intervention; U0123 means the module is silent.
- What you may notice
- ESC/stability control and traction control warning lamps on
- Stability control interventions unavailable
- Driver assistance relying on vehicle motion data switched off
- Likely causes
- PossibleSensor element drifting or giving an offset the receiver flags as implausible
- PossibleLoose mounting or corroded connector at the sensor module
- PossibleSensor module or brake controller software/configuration not matching after replacement
- RareDisturbed CAN signals (wiring, terminating resistor, interference)
