Fluence ABS Lateral Acceleration Sensor Issue

ABS lamp is on in my 2015 diesel Renault Fluence. Diagnostic check says it's the lateral acceleration sensor. Anyone seen this before? I'm worried it's the electronic control unit. Quoted around 1000€!

Sounds familiar. My old Opel Astra had a similar issue, but it was the steering angle sensor causing the ABS and traction control lights to go crazy. Electronic control gremlins are the worst!

Interesting! Was the Opel Astra also showing problems with lateral acceleration or electronic stability? How did you solve it?

Yes, exactly the same symptoms, ABS and traction control lights. It pointed to a faulty sensor in the control unit. Best to take it to a workshop and have them diagnose it properly. Might be something simple, but with safety systems, better safe than sorry.

Thanks! Shop confirmed your suspicion: control unit needs replacement. Costing a fortune, but safety first!
