No, the vehicle has not been involved in any collision. What component of the crash detection system would trigger such a false reading?

Right, no crash is good! It's likely a faulty acceleration sensor, those little guys are responsible for triggering the active hood and airbag deployment. They can get wonky sometimes. I'd say, with those symptoms and error codes, get it checked out at a workshop ASAP. Messing with safety systems is never a good idea.

Thanks for the advice. The workshop confirmed that the acceleration sensor was defective. The repair cost 315€.

Whoa, active hood fault and airbag light at the same time? Sounds like your Kubistar thinks it's been in a crash! Has it actually been in a minor bump or anything? That's a weird combo of warnings, usually linked to the crash detection system.
