Condition
Some customers may comment on a Service Stabilitrak message displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
During diagnosis, a technician may find DTC C0196-5A set in the EBCM.
Cause
C0196-5A is related to YAW sensor plausibility. Engineering has determined that stone impacts to the underside of the transmission tunnel, right below the SDM, may cause the YAW/Lat sensor located in the SDM to send signal spikes related to the resonant frequencies of the sheet metal; 12-14 kHz range. If the YAW/Lat signals don’t line up with vehicle speed and steering angle sensor data, the EBCM will set C0196-5A, plausibility fault. Sometimes the SDM will set C0196-00, invalid yaw rate data fault, if the stone impingement crosses the internal sensor fault threshold while will in turn cause the EBCM to set a C0452-71.
Correction
If you encounter a vehicle with the above concern, follow diagnostic procedures in SI relative to the DTCs that are present.
After completing necessary repairs to address the DTCs, perform the following procedure. Applying vibration deadening material to the underside of the transmission tunnel is intended to dampen the frequency of stone impacts to prevent a repeat occurrence.
- Raise and support vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in SI.
- Locate area shown above transmission and transfer case, if equipped.
- Ensure the area is free of any debris by cleaning the area with wax and grease remover or equivalent. Ensure area is dry.
- Mark the transmission tunnel as noted.
- Wrap and tape off transmission, transfer case, propeller shaft, cables, wiring, exhaust, etc. to protect from overspray as illustrated above.
Note: It is also recommended to protect/tape off the surrounding areas to improve the finished appearance.
- Apply a minimum of 3 heavy coats of the vibration deadening/damping material specified to the marked area following manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Inspect the area to ensure coverage of the area is complete and even.
- Remove all material used to protect from overspray.

My Equinox 2013 had Yaw sensor replaced and reprogrammed but then began to drive erratically after. It has had 2 Yaw sensors and stability trak light stays on. It went off but then went back on and drove veering left. I have only had car 3 years and have never had such issues! Debating contacting Lemon law as cannot afford thousands of $ to repair and cannot put my daughter and my safety in jeopardy and have read numerous others with my same issue. And I still have car payments!
