Active Hood Fault Assistance Needed

I have a 2014 Seat Mii with a gasoline engine and about 140773 km. I'm getting an Active hood fault message on the on-board computer and the airbag warning lamp is lit. There's also an error stored in the error memory, and the spring actuators have been triggered. Could this be the acceleration sensor? Any thoughts?

A 2014 Seat Mii displayed an "Active hood fault" message and an airbag warning, with spring actuators triggered. The issue was suspected to be related to the acceleration sensor. After professional inspection, it was confirmed that the acceleration sensor was indeed the problem, and fixing it resolved the fault.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds like an active hood fault. I had a similar issue on my old Volvo when the car safety system went haywire. Was the hood latch actually triggering?

The hood latch didn't trigger visibly, but the spring actuators did activate. Does that sound like your car sensor?

Yep, pretty much the same. It's likely the acceleration sensor as you suspected. I'd suggest getting it checked out professionally. A faulty crash detection system isn't something to mess with.

Took it to a workshop, and they confirmed the acceleration sensor was the problem. The active hood fault is now fixed. Cost 315€, but worth it for the car safety. Thanks for the help.
