Citroen C6 ABS and Lateral Acceleration Sensor Issue

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue with my 2023 Citroen C6 gasoline. I'm getting an ABS lamp, system failure, and a stored error related to the lateral acceleration sensor. Already did a diagnostic scan, and it points to a defective control unit. The car has 243626 km. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Yep, had the exact same thing with my C6! The yaw rate sensor was borked. Did you check wheel alignment? Sometimes that throws things off.

Wheel alignment is spot on, I checked. Was it definitely the same sensor and symptoms? And what exactly was the fix?

100% same symptoms! ABS light, error codes... dreaded stuff. Ultimately it was the lateral sensor itself, buried in the electronic control unit. Time to bite the bullet and visit a workshop.

Thanks! Workshop confirmed it's the lateral acceleration sensor. Repair will be around 1000€. At least I know what it is now.
