C0063 code: Yaw Rate Sensor

Q: What does code C0063 mean?

Yaw Rate Sensor. How to read C0063: the letter C means chassis (brakes, ABS, steering, suspension); the second digit 0 marks a generic SAE code shared by all makes; the last three characters 063 identify the specific fault.

Code C0063 is named in 12 US owner complaints, 1 of them (8%) after a crash. Models: 3, model years 2014–2023.

What the code means

Yaw Rate Sensor. Generic meaning per SAE J2012 (the same for all makes).

How to read C0063: the letter C means chassis (brakes, ABS, steering, suspension); the second digit 0 marks a generic SAE code shared by all makes; the last three characters 063 identify the specific fault.

ABS/ESC codes: wheel speed sensors, the ABS hydraulic unit and pump, brake booster, pressure and yaw sensors. A hit to a wheel or suspension often damages the wheel speed sensor or its wiring, so on a damaged car this code is a reason to inspect the hub, knuckle and control arms, not just swap the sensor.
