Default 2007 Avalon Yaw Rate Sensor

Hi Guys, I'm new to this site. I recently bought a used 2007 Avalon limited with 46,000 mi. I love this car, but, I've encountered a problem. One night by mistake I shut off the car in gear. That left my navigation screen on and drained the battery all the way down. I used my roll around charger to boost the car started. A few days later my VSC and Traction control lights came on. I took it to my friend ( mechanic) he told me the yaw rate sensor was bad. I had to get my oil changed at the dealership (free) so I went in for a second opinion. Dealership told me they could re-calibrate the sensor, but, no luck. They tried for a couple of hours and told me the sensor is bad $900.00. The service writer asked me if I had jump started the car recently. He said that created the sensor problem. I'm driving the car with the lights on with no issues other that the Dynamic cruise not working. I'd like to find a used sensor maybe from ebay and I'd be willing to gamble on that route. I'm looking for the correct part number and sensor location. Your thoughts and assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
