C0063 flags the yaw rate signal, the rotation about the vertical axis that stability control compares with a reference built from steering angle, lateral acceleration and speed. A lasting gap means understeer or oversteer, so a corrupt signal would trigger wrong interventions; the module therefore stores the code and stops ESC when the value is out of range, frozen, noisy or implausible. FCA documents two variants on the Jeep Compass: C0063-29, invalid signal, with C0061-29 and C0062-29 on 2022 models, cured by ABS software (08-007-23), and C0063-9A, component or system operating conditions, on 2024 models, where the MIL is on and the driver assistance module is reprogrammed (08-128-24). Normal braking stays available throughout.

Likely causes

ABS or driver assistance module software (FCA 08-007-23, 08-128-24)
Yaw rate gyro failed or out of range
Sensor cluster loose or shifted on its mount

Symptoms

  • Stability control disabled
  • ABS/ESC warning lamp on
  • Unexpected or absent stability intervention
