(521-2631) ESP not working
Symptom: Problems remain following fault diagnosis and replacement of yaw rate sensor. In some cases the following message may be given:
ESP not working
Cars affected
9-3 (9440) 4D and CV, M03-05
Background
Yaw rate sensor (658) neutral position may be outside the tolerance due to tolerances in internal components and the production process. This may lead to the ESP system being shut down.
In the case of customer complaint the following procedures must be carried out.
Symptom description
Problems remain following fault diagnosis and replacement of yaw rate sensor. In some cases the following message may be given:
-
Diagnostic trouble code C0186 00 and/or C0186 11
-
The symbol
TCS OFF
or
ESP OFF
illuminates in the MIU
-
SID message:
! Anti-spin system failure. Contact workshop.
or
! Anti-skid system failure. Contact workshop.
Parts required
Washer M6, max. Ø 20 mm.
Procedure
By adjusting the yaw rate sensor's neutral position using washers under the sensor, values within the applicable tolerances can be attained.
-
Park the car on a horizontal surface.
-
Check the value of the yaw rate sensor using Tech2 - ESP - READ VALUES - LATERAL ACCELERATION.
The car should not be loaded while checking the yaw rate sensor's value. Wind down the window and measure with Tech2 from the outside.
If the unloaded value is between 0 to 0.09 m/s
2
then the value is OK. If the value is not OK, continue with step 3 and compensate the yaw rate sensor's neutral position in accordance with the table below.
