Behind the center Instrument panel. After you get that off, it's behind the SDM (Sensing & Diagnostic module -Airbags) at the bottom.

Here's some diagrams from the parts book and shop manual that will help locate your yaw sensor. In both diagrams it's part no.1 Notice that the part looks slightly different in each diagram. That's because there are two versions of the yaw sensor for early and late C6s.






To R&R the sensor, remove the center console, radio, and HVAC control head. Then it will look like the picture in post #4. The yaw sensor is in the very back behind the flat airbag module.
