Default Where is the G Meter Sensor Located

I just had some work done to my C6. The front end was taken off, now the meter is reading all readings to the left side of the display.

Does any one know where the sensor is located?

Thanks.

Be careful the lateral G sensor and the yaw sensor are packaged together in the same module. If you don't have any issues with your ABS, Traction Control or Active Handling don't move it unless you know for sure that is what is causing the problem.

Yes, you'll have to remove the console and the radio surround. It is mounted just behind the air bag module.
