On later models it was incorporated into the Restraint Control Module, which as Nodge says is beneath the centre console.
BEWARE Before touching this ensure ignition is off and there is NO chance of power getting to the module.
If you lift it with power on, car thinks it is in a roll and Airbags will be deployed !
I've seen this done, by someone who should have known better.

Sounds like a "disconnect battery to be on the safe side" job!On later models it was incorporated into the Restraint Control Module, which as Nodge says is beneath the centre console.

Mine is a 2013 model with an ABS fault . I have a sensor on order as diagnosed by Auto Sparks on their computer. Hope it sorts it .
Btw , It’s not incorporated into the airbag control module. It’s a separate sensor . Must be around the same position though along with the longitudinal and lateral sensors .On later models it was incorporated into the Restraint Control Module, which as Nodge says is beneath the centre console.

Thanks but it’s the Yaw rate sensor location I need
It's under the centre console.
Yes I have 4 faults present together. Abs fault , stability control, hdc , and emergency brake assist , all unavailable
Someone will be along with more knowledge than me but I would think that sounds like an ABS sensor fault at one of the wheels.
You need a good code reader to pinpoint the issue.
It could possibly be the YAW Rate Sensor but to be honest I have not heard of one failing.

I'd be pointing a finger at a wheel speed sensor over the vehicle dynamics sensor module. The reason being, the wheel sensors are exposed to water, salt, mud, high temperatures, low temperatures, and crazy amounts of vibration.
The VDSM on the other hand has a cosy life inside a warm, dry, softly sprung vehicle cabin.

Thanks guys
I’ve had the car on 2 different diagnostics both showing faults longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration sensors . I then had it checked by auto sparks and their machine, which I assume is better has pinpointed the problem to be the yaw rate sensor. All I can do is try a replacement one and see .
I drove a freelander 1 sport for 12 years with no hassle. This car is already beginning to **** me off within the first few months if owning it .

The Freelander 2 is many times more complicated than the FL1, so when issues do crop up, they are often more difficult to solve.
