Default abs and trac light on (yaw sensor?)

Hey lads, been having this problem for almost a year. usually happens more when its cold. I'll be driving along and the abs and traction lights come on. "Service stab system", "abs fault" "traction control fail" displays in the dic.

Hours of googling leads me to believe its a yaw sensor thats going bad. Only problem is theres no way to confirm since the damn thing throws no codes, I've scanned on multiple occasions and no dice. Makes me think its intermittent but once it gets thrown those lights persist.

Sensor is pretty cheap (seen 70 to 200 bucks online) and seems easy to replace but does anyone have any ideas before I pull the trigger.

Get a scan tool that can read all modules, then post the code for further assistance!

If I were a betting man, the chances of a Yaw Sensor causing your issues are way down the list of possible.

Get a real scanner (not a simple OBDII code reader), find and post the codes.

Hey guys,

I thought my OBD2 reader was enough, Ill look into a scan tool or seeing if autozone can assist. Wonder if something intermittent like this is stored and can be pulled up. Anyone recommend a good scanner thats not a simple obd2 reader I have currently.
