Livinia ABS Lateral Acceleration Sensor Issue

Yeah, it does feel a bit unstable sometimes, especially on curves. Did you ever figure out what was causing it, and how much did it cost you to fix? I'm trying to get an idea of what I'm looking at here. Electronic control problems always seem like a black box to me!

Turns out it was the lateral acceleration sensor like you suspect! The workshop confirmed the control unit was indeed defective. I ended up getting it replaced, and it wasn't cheap. I'd recommend getting it checked professionally; messing with the ABS system can be risky.

Thanks a lot for the info! Sounds like I'm headed to the shop then. At least I have a better idea of what to expect now. Appreciate the help!

Whoa, sounds familiar! I have a Livinia too, and had something similar happen. Does it feel like the vehicle stability and traction control are acting up too? My ABS light would come on randomly, and sometimes the car would feel a little unstable in turns.
