Captur brake booster pressure sensor failure

I'm having trouble with my 2019 Renault Captur gasoline. I think the brake booster pressure sensor is failing. The speedometer shows an error, and the braking is really weak. The error is also stored in the memory. Has anyone else had this?

Hey, I drive a Captur too. Sounds like what I had a while back. Did you recently get your brakes bled? That was the issue for me. Incorrect bleeding can mess with the pressure and trigger those sensors.

That's interesting! Yes, I had the brakes bled recently. How would incorrect bleeding cause this sensor issue? I'm trying to understand how that works.

Basically, if the brake system isn't bled properly, air can get trapped in the lines. This messes with the pressure readings the sensor expects, triggering the error. If it was recent, I'd suggest taking it back to the shop that did the brake bleeding. They probably owe you a fix. If not, a new sensor will cost around 90€.

Thanks so much for the help! Incorrect brake bleeding was the problem. I took it back to the shop, they re-bled the system, and the error is gone. The braking is back to normal! The sensor was fine. The repair cost 90€. I'm very grateful!
