C0062 on 2005-2011 Honda CR-V (LX, EX, EX-L, SE) — Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Circuit
1 vehicles · 1 makes · $700-$2,800 repair
Most Reported On
C0062 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Circuit.” A chassis code indicating a fault with the longitudinal acceleration sensor, which measures forward and rearward g-force during acceleration and braking. The signal is used by ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and on some vehicles adaptive cruise control and four-wheel-drive/hill-descent logic, so those systems typically shut down and light their warning lamps. The code sets when the signal is out of range, missing, or inconsistent with wheel speed data. The sensor is usually part of the same multi-axis assembly as the lateral (C0061) and yaw rate (C0063) sensors, so these codes often appear together and point at one component. Normal base braking usually remains available. This code is most commonly reported on 2005-2011 Honda CR-V (LX, EX, EX-L, SE), with repair costs ranging from $700 to $2,800.

Diagnostic Tools
This is a chassis code. A basic engine-code reader will not show it — you need a scanner that reads chassis modules. These read C0062.
One caveat that applies to every scanner: only powertrain codes are standardised across manufacturers. Body, chassis and network coverage is "enhanced" diagnostics, and how deep it goes varies by make and model year — check your specific vehicle against the tool's coverage list before buying.

What you can do yourself, and what needs a shop
Reading the code, clearing it, and watching whether it returns is a driveway job with the right scanner. These steps are not:
- Module programming or software updates — needs the manufacturer software or a J2534 pass-through with a paid subscription.
- Replacing a control module — most are VIN-programmed and immobilizer-registered, so a new one does nothing until it is coded to your car.
- Airbag/SRS component work — a stored fault can deploy a live device.
If the vehicle is still under warranty, check for an open recall or technical service bulletin before buying anything — the repair may already be covered.

FAQ
What does C0062 mean?
C0062 stands for "Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Circuit." A chassis code indicating a fault with the longitudinal acceleration sensor, which measures forward and rearward g-force during acceleration and braking. The signal is used by ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and on some vehicles adaptive cruise control and four-wheel-drive/hill-descent logic, so those systems typically shut down and light their warning lamps. The code sets when the signal is out of range, missing, or inconsistent with wheel speed data. The sensor is usually part of the same multi-axis assembly as the lateral (C0061) and yaw rate (C0063) sensors, so these codes often appear together and point at one component. Normal base braking usually remains available.
What are the most common causes of C0062?
The most common causes of C0062 are: Failed multi-axis yaw rate / acceleration sensor assembly, Water intrusion or corrosion at the sensor connector (the sensor is often mounted low, under a seat or console), Damaged, shorted, or open wiring between the sensor and the ABS/EBCM module, Failed ABS module (EBCM) internal fault, Loose or improperly mounted sensor after interior, seat, or suspension work, Low battery/system voltage producing false sensor faults, Sensor calibration not performed after replacement. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
How much does it cost to fix C0062?
Repair costs for C0062 range from $700 to $2,800, depending on the vehicle and root cause.
