2008 ML350 4matic Yaw Sensor
I am looking for the location of the Yaw sensor on my 2008 ML350 4matic. Anyone know where it’s located or can post a pic or diagram? Thanks

My 2009 W164 ML63 AMG has the Yaw Rate Sensor located under the passenger floor board. Bring the chair all the way back, remove the flooring and the floor panel - and you will see it.
I replaced mine with a used one - after ordering the same part 3 times finally got the correct one - while supplying the VIN each time. Then the used one didn't fully clear my ESP Unavailable message and in fact I got an ESP Inoperative message as well. Took it to the shop and they 'reset' the sensor (not sure how) and it seemed to work for about a week. However, "ESP Unavailable" message is back again. The Yaw Rate Sensor brand new is just under $400 so that's why I tried the used one. Unfortunately I wasted about $150 on used Yaw Rate Sensors and went a bit crazy while doing so. Suggest just getting a new one. Also I read that you may need to perform a 'road test' after reinstalling - which is a whole other can of worms from what I can tell. Also perform initialization of DTR Control Unit using STAR DIANGOSIS. My scanner tool didn't cut it it seems.
