Mercedes GLE ABS Fault Lateral Acceleration Sensor

Yep, sounds familiar I had a similar issue with my GLE Same symptoms: ABS light, system failure, and a lateral acceleration sensor fault code If I remember correctly, the electronic stability program (ESP) was also affected, right The root cause might be a faulty electronic control unit (ECU) Before you drop a grand, double-check the wiring and connections to the sensor itself A loose or corroded connection can sometimes mimic a sensor failure Have you checked that already

I did inspect the wiring harness visually, but didn't do any in-depth probing Where exactly should I be focusing my attention Any specific connectors or sections of the harness known to cause problems Also, did replacing the control unit completely resolve your issue

Okay, so on mine, the connector at the sensor itself was the problem It looked fine at first glance, but I unplugged it, cleaned the pins, and applied some dielectric grease That didn't fix it though Replacing the control unit did solve the problem completely But honestly, unless you have access to advanced diagnostic tools, you're probably better off letting a workshop handle it They can pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's the sensor, wiring, or the control unit itself Saves you time and potentially avoids further damage

Thanks, that's super helpful I appreciate the insight Sounds like I'm heading to the workshop At least I have a better idea of what to expect now I'll post an outcome after the repair is complete
