Fusion Active Hood Fault

The car has done 32843 km. I really hope it's nothing too serious or expensive. Any idea what part might be failing? Is it maybe a faulty impact sensor for the active hood?

Given the information provided, specifically the mileage and the confirmed triggering of the actuators, your suspicion of a faulty acceleration sensor is plausible. While a definitive diagnosis requires professional tools, the sensor's failure to correctly interpret impact data could certainly explain the cascade of errors you're observing. I would advise scheduling an appointment with a qualified technician; they will possess the correct equipment to diagnose and rectify such faults.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a local shop as you suggested. Turns out the acceleration sensor was indeed defective. They replaced it and it set me back about 315€. Everything seems to be working perfectly now.

The symptoms you describe, in particular the triggered actuators coupled with the error code and airbag warning, do indeed suggest a fault within the active hood system. Could you confirm the vehicle's mileage at the time the issue first presented?
