Bipper ABS and Lateral Sensor Issue

Help! My 2013 Peugeot Bipper (gasoline engine) is acting up. The ABS light is on, and the system seems totally dead. Got an error stored too – something about the lateral acceleration sensor. Could a defective control unit really be the cause?

Hey, I had something similar happen with my Bipper. ABS light and all that jazz. Was it throwing any codes related to vehicle stability or anything? I'm just trying to figure out if it's the same electronic control gremlin.

Yeah, the error code specifically points to the lateral acceleration sensor. Is that what you saw too? If so, what did you end up doing? Trying to avoid a huge bill, ya know?

Yep, lateral sensor was the culprit for me as well. Honestly, with that kind of thing, it's tricky. I'd say get a proper diagnostic scan at a decent workshop. Could be a faulty sensor, could be the ECU itself. They quoted me around 1000€, so be prepared.

Thanks for the heads-up! Sounds like I'm headed for a workshop visit then. Appreciate the insight about the potential cost; at least I won't be totally shocked. Wish me luck!
