Yaw Rate

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003 Honda Odyssey, 2002 Honda Odyssey, 2001 Honda Odyssey, and 2000 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

"Offset" is a reference voltage or standard within the yaw rate sensor. It should indicate 1.500 to 3.500 V with the vehicle stopped.

"Sensor" indicates the voltage output from the yaw rate sensor. It should indicate 1.500 to 3.500 V with the vehicle stopped.

A "sensor" output voltage HIGHER than that of the "Offset" voltage indicates the vehicle is turning to the RIGHT.

A "sensor" output voltage LOWER than that of the "Offset" voltage indicates the vehicle is turning to the LEFT.

With the vehicle stopped, sitting still, with the engine idling, both the "Offset" and "Sensor" voltage should be within 0.01 V +/- of each other.

If not, replace the navigation unit.

Example:
NOTE: The vehicle is stopped, sitting still, with the engine idling.
1. Good:
  1. Offset 2.517 V
  2. Sensor 2.517 v (0.010 V +/-)
2. Bad:
  1. Offset 2.517 V
  2. Sensor 2.823 V
  NOTE: Do not try to tune the yaw rate sensor unless instructed by American Honda.
