The Yaw Rate and Lateral Acceleration Sensors are housed into one unit known as the Dynamics Sensor (2). 
The sensor is used to measure side-to-side (Lateral) motion and vehicle rotational sensing (how fast the vehicle 
is turning - Yaw). 

Yaw and Lateral Acceleration Sensors cannot be serviced separately. The entire Dynamics Sensor (2) must be 
replaced when necessary.
