ESP error sensor for yaw rate, Golf IV (G202)

Dear fellow enthusiasts,

Here's the translation:

"I'm experiencing the following issue. Since installing a sports suspension and 18-inch wheels, the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is intervening too quickly, even on slight bumps. It seems to be happening even on straight roads." It's hard to understand.
If things get really bad, I also get an error message.

->> Encoder sending an implausible signal (I need to check the laptop for more details).

Driving slowly can be dangerous. The other day, on the highway at about 170 km/h, I was entering a turn and heading towards an exit, and that stupid ESP kicked in ---> frustrating!

Well, maybe someone can find it useful. I will post the original error message tonight.

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

"1 error found:"

27-10 - implausible signal - interrupted.

Sure, here's the translation:

"Thx" is a shortened form of "thanks." It's often used in informal online communication, such as text messages or social media posts.

A complete car scan, including any error messages, would be very helpful.

And as described here, here is the entry again. It can get really dangerous sometimes.

Here's what I found in the database:

01542
Unlikely signal from the G202 rotation rate sensor.

Interruption, short circuit to positive or ground in the wiring.
The installation orientation of the G202 rate sensor is incorrect.
Encoder for axis G202 is defective.


Okay, found it . The transverse acceleration sensor is broken -> Approximately 500 Euros!



Thank you. Does VW ever stop [doing something]?

And did that happen while changing to the new tires? Almost simultaneously? Then I'm going to say that it's probably not due to a faulty sensor...

Yes, so it started there and got worse.
Meanwhile, it simply goes straight ahead on a straight road .
It's probably a common issue with Golfs/Boras.


Best regards,

Right off the bat: I have no idea about ESP.

I'm still wondering why the drive shaft failed at the same time as the suspension was installed. That's why I'm asking: Are the tires identical on the front and rear? Is the lowering (if any) the same at the front and the rear?

Here's the translation:

"The reason I'm asking is: Did you perhaps build something with a wedge shape that might cause the installation position of the rotary sensor to no longer be within the specified tolerances?"

As I said: This is just an idea, and I don't have the necessary background knowledge regarding the installation and tilt tolerances of the rotary encoder.

Regards,
Guste.

Perhaps it's enough to simply recalibrate all the sensors.
the current suspension setup.

hi...


Well, there's no wedge in it now. It's actually a really humane kind of tuning. H&R lowering springs, only 35mm, otherwise not too bad. I'm running a very high tire pressure, but it probably isn't that.

It also says that the donor is disconnected. I've often read that they are poorly soldered. "There have been people who managed to re-solder it (but the solder has already been used up)."

Okay, I'm going to order a new one tomorrow, but how do I learn to use it? Steering angle sensor is easy, but what about the sender?

@ OT ---->>> How do I learn to use this thing?


Thank you for your help .

It's strange, I've never heard of these things breaking. You never stop learning.

Yes, I was at VW today, and they are aware of the problem. Something probably changed around 2003.

It costs me 456,- hehe.

Well, I'm going to get one from eBay.

Regards...

Hello everyone...


Here's a short, funny story.

Today, being bored, I was installing electrical wiring and had to run a cable through the firewall when I encountered a completely loose part.

Well, just around the corner, and what was that?
...the sensors for rotary encoders and longitudinal acceleration (G200 + G 202).

Well, it's unbelievable that something like that would just come loose; he was diligently working on it. It's no wonder that he started making mistakes more frequently.
I should have looked earlier.

get organized and get it done

Well, debugging can be quite tiring for some people...

Hi,

Can you tell me where this plug is located? Because I have the same problem: At first, it was only happening sporadically, but now the ESP also intervenes randomly while I'm driving - which can be really dangerous?

Sorry, I read this late.


It's easy to access the area beneath the steering column from below.

No problem - the ESP is currently permanently disabled.

Under the steering column? But exactly where? And is the sensor located there as well?

It's located directly on the steering column, approximately in the middle of the footwell, and is attached with screws from the right side in the case of a Golf. Unfortunately, I can't be more specific. However, if your ESP is completely turned off, there should be an error message.
