C0064: Roll Rate Sensor — what it means, the affected system and what to check before replacing parts.
Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks
Roll Rate Sensor. Basic catalogue definition; diagnostic details have not yet been reviewed.
Affected system: Chassis
Symptoms
- ABS, traction-control, stability-control, steering, or tire-pressure warning light
- ABS or stability intervention may be unavailable
- Speedometer or steering behavior may be abnormal
- Normal base braking may remain but driver-assistance functions can be reduced
Possible causes
- Wheel-speed sensor, encoder ring, steering-angle sensor, or acceleration sensor fault
- Damaged harness, connector corrosion, poor ground, or incorrect supply voltage
- Incorrect sensor calibration or chassis-module configuration
- Brake, bearing, tire, steering, or suspension mechanical problem
What to check
- Read codes from ABS, stability, steering, suspension, and powertrain modules
- Save freeze-frame and failure-type information
- Inspect the affected corner or sensor and compare live values side by side
- Perform circuit and mechanical tests from vehicle service information
- Calibrate sensors if required and verify the repair on a safe road test
- Compare all wheel speeds and chassis sensor values during a controlled test
- Inspect sensor wiring, encoder rings, bearings, tires, and connectors
- Verify power, ground, signal, and required sensor calibration
Also written as: C0064-00, C006400, CO064 (some scan tools add the fault-type byte, e.g. -00).
