Interesting! Where is that acceleration sensor located, and is it difficult to replace? Also, were your hood actuators firing too? I'm trying to figure out if it's a sensor or a hood latch problem.

Yeah, the actuators were firing on mine as well. I wouldn't mess with it too much yourself. It's all tied into the crash detection system. I'd recommend taking it to a workshop and getting it checked out properly. Much safer that way.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – it was the acceleration sensor. They replaced it, and the error is gone, and the airbag light is off. Cost me 315€, but at least it's fixed. Really appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old BMW 3 Series. Same error message, airbag light, the whole shebang. In my case, it was the acceleration sensor that was causing the problem.
