Where it lives

For C0061, start at the sensor the description names.

Check these first

• A failed lateral acceleration sensor
• An open or short in the lateral acceleration sensor wiring
• Corrosion at the lateral acceleration sensor connector
• A fault in the stability control module
• An intermittent lateral acceleration sensor signal

What to do next

1. Inspect the lateral acceleration sensor and connector
2. Check the sensor wiring for opens and shorts
3. Monitor the lateral acceleration sensor signal with a scan tool
4. Replace the lateral acceleration sensor if it tests bad
5. Test the stability control module if the sensor and wiring are good
6. Clear the code and retest
