Yaw sensor
If you unplug (remove) the yaw sensor in the passenger floorboard, you will get a "Service Active handling" message when you start the car. So does that mean AH/TC is disabled and I don't have to worry about remembering to turn it off every time I shut the car off in grid?

The C5 has the yaw sensor in the center stack and the lateral G sensor under the passenger seat. Disconnecting the lateral G sensor should kill the Traction Control and Active Handling without affecting the ABS. It isn't needed for the ABS function.

He is talking about a C5. On the C6 the lateral G sensor and the yaw sensor are both located in the center stack near the radio.

Since I am helping (or trying to, lol) ken with his car with this exact problem (lat sensor codes), I just tested it. The ABS does in fact work, as does the TC. All this with a service active handling MIL and auto shut off of the AH. I suppose it just ignores any AH/car attitude inputs, but keeps the TC and ABS in check.
good to know

The other sensor is behind the HVAC controls on the drivers side mounted with 3 bolts at the back/bottom of the aluminum framework which holds the radio and HVAC controls.

BTW - mine is a '99 so I don't have AH, but I do have TC.

lat g is just under the left rail of the pass. set mount, about 6" from the left-side seat stud in the front. It's location reqs some custom work in fab'ing up a racing seat mount (simple straight mount will not work).
