Error message on Seat Leon Diesel: ABS/DSC malfunction and airbag warning light
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a problem with a Seat Leon Diesel car, specifically an ABS/DSC malfunction and an airbag warning light. The user suspects that the issue might be related to the communication with the steering angle sensor. Another user shared a similar experience with their Seat Ibiza, where the steering angle sensor was faulty and had to be replaced, costing €505. This resolved the issue and no further problems occurred. Another user mentioned a similar problem with their Leon, but in their case, the issue was with the plug of the "rotation rate sensor" which was damaged during a subwoofer installation. The garage repaired the plug for around €250. The general advice was to take the car to a garage for professional diagnosis and repair.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. It's always good when you're not the only one with the problem, it makes you feel less lonely. You mentioned that your steering angle sensor had to be completely replaced. Do you remember how much that cost? And have you had any other problems since then? Greetings.

Hey, yes, I can tell you that. It cost me €505 to replace the steering angle sensor. That wasn't exactly cheap, but fortunately the problem with the faulty communication has since been resolved. Since then I have been completely satisfied, no further problems have occurred. I hope everything works just as well for you! Greetings back.

Hi, thanks for the information. 505 is a lot, but if it solves the problem, it's worth the price. Good to know you haven't had any further problems since. I hope everything goes smoothly for me too. Thanks for the advice, I'll take it on board and take it to the mechanic. Regards.

How do you do? I had a similar problem with my Leon years ago. In my case, however, the plug of the "rotation rate sensor" was defective. According to the garage, the car needs this data so that it knows exactly what to do in tricky situations. The problem with me was that someone had once retrofitted a subwoofer and probably damaged the connector when laying the cables to the radio, as the sensor is probably located under the center console in this car. The garage then repaired the plug, which cost me around 250 euros with the troubleshooting.

Hello, I recently had a similar problem with my Seat Ibiza (built in 2012). I also had the airbag warning light on and problems with ABS/DSC, so I went to the garage. My steering angle sensor was faulty and had to be completely replaced. It was quite a job because the steering wheel had to be removed to change it. But it wasn't actually that serious. It was just annoying because I couldn't use my car for a few days. From my experience, this could also be the case for you. However, every case is individual, so I would recommend you just go back to the garage. Hope this helps you! Greetings.
