01542 yaw rate sensor SEAT Leon Hatchback (1P1)

The yaw rate sensor in your 2012 Seat Leon could be located in a few different places based on the information available.

For most vehicles, the yaw rate sensor is typically located under the driver or passenger seat, mounted on the level floorboard to access the vehicle's center of gravity. However, since you've already checked under the seats without success, we need to consider other common locations.

In some Seat models, the yaw rate sensor (G200 - Transverse acceleration sensor) is located with the steering angle sensor (G202) on the steering column, up underneath the lower dash. This would explain why you've been taking apart the dash in your search.

Another possibility is that in your specific model year and variant, the yaw rate sensor might be integrated inside the ABS unit. This integration is mentioned for some Seat Leon models.

If you're still having trouble locating it, you might want to check:

1. The steering column area thoroughly, as it's a common location for this sensor in Seat vehicles
2. Near or integrated with the ABS module
3. Under the center console

After installation of a new yaw rate sensor, be aware that a reset/recalibration procedure is generally required.

For a more visual guide, you might want to reference videos that show the removal and replacement process, as these can be helpful for locating components in specific vehicle models.

Have you tried looking behind the glove box? I had a similar issue with my old Ford, and it turned out the yaw rate sensor was tucked away there. Might be worth a check if you haven't already.

Mate, I think you're on a wild goose chase there. These modern cars are getting trickier by the day. Next thing you know, they'll hide the yaw rate sensor in the cup holder! But seriously, have you considered it might be integrated into another module? Some manufacturers are doing that now to save space.

In my experience working on Seats, the yaw rate sensor is often near the ABS module. Have you checked around that area? It's usually towards the center of the car, sometimes under the center console. Might save you from dismantling the entire dash!

Blimey, sounds like you're having a right mare with this one! Have you tried giving the local Seat dealership a bell? They might be able to point you in the right direction without you having to turn your car into a giant jigsaw puzzle. Just a thought!
