Koleos Active Hood Fault

I own a Koleos myself. From your description, this sounds familiar. If I remember correctly, it could be related to the acceleration sensor responsible for collision detection. These sensors can sometimes become faulty, triggering the active hood and airbag warnings. However, I am not entirely certain if it's the same sensor, but it could be. Is there any further information on the error code?

Thanks for the quick reply! You mentioned acceleration sensor. Is this the same as the crash sensor? Is it difficult to locate and test, or is it something I should leave to a professional?

Yes, it is the same as a crash sensor. Considering the safety implications of the airbag and active hood systems, and the potential for incorrect diagnosis leading to further complications, I would advise against attempting a repair yourself. A workshop will be able to properly diagnose and rectify the issue. My issue was similar and was resolved at the workshop. I advise that you seek a professional.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a local workshop and it turned out to be a defective acceleration sensor, just as you suspected. The repair cost me 315€. Everything is working fine now.
