What Does U0513 Mean?
The receiving module has identified that data from the yaw rate sensor is invalid, corrupted, or out of acceptable range. This affects stability control, traction control, and other vehicle dynamics systems that rely on yaw rate information.
Safety Warning
Critical safety concern. Stability control, traction control, and electronic brake distribution systems may be disabled or operate incorrectly. Vehicle handling in emergency maneuvers or slippery conditions will be significantly compromised.
Common Causes
40%
Yaw rate sensor module internal failure or calibration drift
25%
Damaged wiring harness or corroded connector at yaw sensor location
20%
Poor ground connection or voltage supply issue to yaw rate sensor
10%
Sensor mounting bracket loose or sensor physically damaged from impact
5%
CAN bus communication fault or network interference affecting sensor data
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Monitor yaw rate sensor live data to identify invalid readings and compare to expected values during stationary conditions
2
Step 2: Check voltage supply and ground circuits at yaw rate sensor connector meet manufacturer specifications
3
Step 3: Inspect yaw rate sensor mounting location (typically center console area or under driver seat) for secure mounting and physical damage
4
Step 4: Examine wiring harness and connector for corrosion, damage, or loose terminals
5
Step 5: Perform yaw rate sensor calibration procedure per manufacturer specifications, replace sensor if calibration fails or data remains invalid
Estimated Repair Cost
$200 - $1,200
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The receiving module has identified that data from the yaw rate sensor is invalid, corrupted, or out of acceptable range. This affects stability control, traction control, and other vehicle dynamics systems that rely on yaw rate information.
The most common cause of U0513 (Invalid Data Received From Yaw Rate Sensor Module) is: Yaw rate sensor module internal failure or calibration drift
Typical repair costs for U0513 range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Critical safety concern. Stability control, traction control, and electronic brake distribution systems may be disabled or operate incorrectly. Vehicle handling in emergency maneuvers or slippery conditions will be significantly compromised.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to U0513 to identify the root cause.
