Active Hood Fault Airbag Light

Hey, my 2011 Renault Wind (gasoline engine) is throwing an "Active hood fault" message. The airbag light is also on, and the error memory confirms the fault. Weird thing is, the spring actuators have triggered. I'm guessing a faulty acceleration sensor?

I drive a Renault Wind as well, and I seem to recall encountering a very similar situation some time ago. Any work been done recently in the front of the car?

No recent work at all. The fault just popped up. Did you have the same symptoms (airbag light, active hood triggered)?

Indeed, the symptoms you describe align precisely with my experience. Given that the spring actuators have already been deployed, I highly recommend consulting with a qualified automotive technician to ensure the system is properly diagnosed and repaired. I ended up paying 315€ for the repair.

Thanks for confirming. Sounds like I'm on the right track. I'll book it in to get the sensor replaced.
