No, the yaw sensor shouldn't affect the airbag system at all AFAIK. The yaw sensor's hooked to traction control and ABS, but not to the safety system. There are impact sensors around the car that...

I wouldn't be surprised if the cruise control just failed to work at all with the ABS controller dead. Be interesting to see what happens :)

To clear up some confusion in the past two posts:

VDC and ABLS are sub-functions of the ABS controller. Disconnecting the Yaw sensor kills VDC and ABLS, but not ABS. Pulling the brake light fuse...

That pin 1F looks easy to find on the fuse block. I think this weekend I might cut that and run it to a dash panel switch for ABS ON/OFF, then I can experiment with the difference switching it on...

Yeah not to mention pretty much every failure mode on this car that's documented requires a restart (shut off car and turn ignition back on) to clear it, so it would make sense that the yaw fault...

I have no idea if it will let you burn tires with the brakes on, that's not something I ever have a desire to do on my car (waste of tire and brake pad material!). I suspect the brake fuse trick...

If you're going to do all that, just pull the yaw sensor instead of the fuse + rewiring. Or put a switch on the power to the yaw sensor.

^ Correct. Unplugging the yaw sensor kills VDC+TCS+ABLS (and you get a permanent VDC OFF / Slip light on the dash, as it thinks the system has failed, which it has).

Supposedly it leaves basic...

I think you'd still need to pull the yaw sensor to disable some things (like ABLS), but I don't think ETC-Off in the ROM would be "undriveable" on a 6MT. It would probably be perfect for a track...

The major difference between "VDC Off" and...

The major difference between "VDC Off" and "Unplug the Yaw Sensor" is TCS (the really basic traction control that doesn't do as much as VDC) and ABLS (Antilock Brake Limited Slip). I think both are...

Every performance car (hell, even a minivan) will eventually put you in your place at some point, with or without traction control disabled. The solution is more driver training. Even if you're not...
