Freemont ABS and Lateral Acceleration Sensor Fault

Hi. My 2012 Fiat Freemont with a gasoline engine is throwing up an ABS light and failing its ABS system. Error memory shows a lateral acceleration sensor fault. Affected control unit defective, maybe? Anyone else seen this?

A 2012 Fiat Freemont is experiencing an ABS light and system failure, with an error indicating a lateral acceleration sensor fault. The issue may be due to a defective control unit. Suggestions include checking the yaw rate sensor and wheel alignment, as these could be related to the electronic stability system. Ultimately, a workshop confirmed the problem as a faulty lateral acceleration sensor and control unit.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds familiar. I had similar ABS issues on my Freemont. Was traction control also acting up? Check the yaw rate sensor and wheel alignment too. Could be related to the electronic stability system.

Yaw rate sensor, huh? Where exactly is that located? Is it an easy fix, or do I need special tools? Does it trigger the traction control?

Yeah, traction control went haywire. Honestly, I didn't mess with it myself; too many interconnected systems. Just took it to a workshop. Likely the same defective control unit

Thanks for the tip! Workshop confirmed it's the lateral acceleration sensor and a faulty control unit. Quoted 1000€... ouch. But at least I know what it is.
