Citroen C8 ABS Lateral Acceleration Sensor Fault

The scan pointed to a fault in the electronic stability control module, possibly the lateral acceleration sensor's input. The error code wasn't very specific, but suggested a calibration issue or sensor failure. Did you try troubleshooting before replacing parts on your Opel?

Electronic stability control module sounds right. I tried recalibrating with a tool, but the error stayed. It sounds like a bad sensor or module. I took it to a workshop since I lacked manufacturer-specific tools. These safety systems are best left to pros. Expect to pay around 1000€ to fix it.

I appreciate you sharing that. I'll get it inspected at a service center. With the complexity and safety risks, professional help seems best. Thanks again for the assistance.

I had a similar issue last year with my 2012 Opel Insignia. ABS light, system failure, and a sensor error code sound familiar. Mine was the yaw rate sensor, basically the same as a lateral acceleration sensor. The scan hinted at a steering angle issue. Was your scan specific? Did it point to a control unit?
