Mr Glyn Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hi my local garage has told me I need a new Yaw rate sensor (£600 plus) on searching for the diagnostic code C1279, it says Yaw Rate Sensor Circuit Failure could this be a simple bad connection fault?

Jethro_Tull Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 You've checked all the fuses? If its like the Fester the sensor will be under the centre console forward of the gear stick. Worth cleaning the connector. Ford sensors are horrifically expensive but pattern ones are about £100. Good used ones on eBay. About half an hour to fit. only models with TC/ESP have it.

Jethro_Tull Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not off hand, although F5, F6 F40 and F37 would be favourites. The Haynes book of lies might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Glyn Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks Jethro I did have a look at the ones you mentioned and I’ve ordered a Haynes manual, presently looking for the actual Yaw rate sensor, had hoped to find it under the centre counsel L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro_Tull Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry matey. I know it's there in the Fester, and being very close cousins I was hoping it would hold true for the Fusion. Hope you find it and a wiggle of the connector and some contact cleaner cures it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
