Power steering not working, abs, vdc, and key dummy lights on? G37s 6mt
Hey guys I have a 2013 G37s 6mt and I attempted to do the yaw switch. I initially did it wrong but corrected it by switching the black ground wire. But ever since I messed it up the first time, my power steering wouldn’t work anymore. Also all those lights I listed above are on no matter which way the switch is. Although I can drift in it now, I would like to just have one dummy light on (vdc) and also to have my power steering. Also my traction control button doesn’t work nor does it even show up. Did I fry the yaw sensor? Please help lol

What is yaw? I would assume since nissan like to complicate everything they have some type of electronic for the power steering so I would start by checking fuses in the kick panel as well as battery compartment. Otherwise power steering is simple to diagnose, bad pump, no belt, leaky rack and pinion or hoses.

A yaw-rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle’s angular velocity around its vertical axis. The angle between the vehicle's heading and vehicle actual movement direction is called slip angle, which is related to the yaw rate. So basically the angle of your car tilting while you are turning. And yeah I checked all the fuses and it’s good. So I have no idea!

I would check if the wires have power all the to the sensor and if the ground is making good contact if those check out most likely it's the sensor issue. I hope your putting a switch on that and the yaw sensor is super cheap

it was the ABS fuse located to the left of the battery. Only had a G for like 2 weeks so I didn’t even know their was a fuse box their. Thanks again and for the Yaw/VDC switch, USE THE BLACK GROUND WIRE! It works perfect!
