AS:DTC C0072 YAW RATE SENSOR OSCILLATION MALFUNCTION
NOTE:
For the diagnostic procedure, refer to DTC C0072 “YAW RATE SENSOR SIGNAL MALFUNCTION”.
to VDC(diag)-78, DTC C0072 YAW RATE SENSOR SIGNAL MALFUNCTION, Diagnostic Procedure with
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).>
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK STEERING WHEEL.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Park the vehicle straight.
3) Check the steering wheel for deviation from
center.
Is the deviation from the center
of steering wheel less than 5°?
Go to step 2.Perform the cen-
tering adjustment
of steering wheel.
2CHECK DRIVING PLACE.
Check if the vehicle ran the road with banks or
sandy surface (which does not mean a dirt
road).
Did the vehicle run the road
with banks or sandy surface
(which does not mean a dirt
road)?
VDCCM&H/U may
record DTC when
the vehicle ran the
road with banks or
sandy surface
(which does not
mean a dirt road).
Go to step 3.
3CHECK OUTPUT OF STEERING ANGLE
SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR.
1) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in
Subaru Select Monitor.
2) Read the steering angle sensor output dis-
played on display.
Does the steering angle sensor
output value on the display
var y in accordance with steer-
ing operation when turning the
steering wheel to the right or
left?
Go to step 4.Replace the steer-
ing angle sensor.
4CHECK THE VDCCM&H/U.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.
3) Erase the memory.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.
Is the same DTC displayed? Replace the
VDCCM&H/U.

5CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.Is any other DTC displayed? Perform the diag-
nosis according to
DTC.

AT:DTC C0072 YAW RATE SENSOR SIGNAL MALFUNCTION
DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
Defective yaw rate sensor
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
VDC does not operate.
Step Check Yes No
1CHECK DRIVING PLACE.
Check if the vehicle ran the road with banks or
sandy surface (which does not mean a dirt
road).
Did the vehicle run the road
with banks or sandy surface
(which does not mean a dirt
road)?
VDCCM&H/U may
record DTC when
the vehicle ran the
road with banks or
sandy surface
(which does not
mean a dirt road).
Go to step 2.
2CHECK YAW RATE & G SENSOR INSTAL-
LATION.
Is the yaw rate & G sensor
installation bolt tightened to 7.5
N·m (0.76 kgf-m, 5.5 ft-lb)?
Go to step 3.Tighten the yaw
rate & G sensor
installation bolt.
3CHECK OUTPUT OF YAW RATE & G SEN-
SOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONITOR.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Park the vehicle straight.
3) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in
Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Read the yaw rate output displayed on dis-
play.
Is the reading indicated on
monitor display –4 — 4 deg/s?
Go to step 4.Replace the yaw
rate & G sensor.
4CHECK OUTPUT OF STEERING ANGLE
SENSOR WITH SUBARU SELECT MONI-
TOR.
1) Drive the vehicle on a flat road.
2) Park the vehicle straight.
3) Select {Current Data Display & Save} in
Subaru Select Monitor.
4) Read the steering angle sensor output dis-
played on display.
Is the reading indicated on
monitor display –5 — 5°?
Go to step 5.Calibrate the
steering angle
sensor.
5CHECK YAW RATE & G SENSOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect all the connectors.
3) Erase the memory.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.
Is the same DTC displayed? Go to step 6.Go to step 7.
6CHECK THE VDCCM&H/U.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Replace the yaw rate & G sensor.
3) Erase the memory.
4) Perform the inspection mode.
5) Read the DTC.
Is the same DTC displayed? Replace the
VDCCM&H/U.

7CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.Is any other DTC displayed? Perform the diag-
nosis according to
DTC.

8CHECK OTHER DTC DETECTION.Is any other DTC displayed? Perform the diag-
nosis according to
DTC.
Malfunction is
found in or iginal
