U0513 Invalid Data Received From Yaw Rate Sensor Module

A receiving module detected implausible data from the yaw rate sensor module (typically combined with lateral/longitudinal accelerometer). Rotational rate values fail plausibility checks against steering and wheel speed and are rejected; ESC may be inhibited.

Is it safe to drive with U0513?

The car may go into limp mode (reduced power). Get it diagnosed before a long trip.
