Mercedes GT Roadster Hybrid ABS Issue

My 2019 Mercedes GT Roadster hybrid is acting up The ABS light is on, and the ABS system seems disabled. I scanned it and it's showing a fault with the lateral acceleration sensor. The error memory mentions a defective control unit. Has anyone else run into this I'm worried about vehicle stability and the safety warning. I'm getting quotes around 1000€ to fix it. This is impacting electronic stability and traction control so I’m trying to figure out if it’s related to the steering angle somehow

Whoa, that sounds rough I had a similar nightmare with my old BMW Z4 a few years back. ABS light, traction control going haywire – the whole nine yards. They told me it was also a lateral acceleration sensor issue. Was yours triggered by anything specific like a hard bump or extreme weather

No, nothing obvious triggered it. It just popped up one morning when I started the car. I’ve checked the basics like fuses, but no luck. Was the BMW fix straightforward, or did they chase their tails for a while

They definitely chased their tails a bit. Turned out the sensor itself was faulty, but the initial diagnosis was all over the place. I’d say get it to a good workshop ASAP. Those electronic stability systems are crucial, and you don't want to mess around when vehicle stability is compromised. Don't risk driving it hard until it's sorted

Thanks, that’s what I was afraid of. Appreciate the insight Took it to the dealer, and you were right – the lateral acceleration sensor control unit was indeed toast. Quoted 1000€ which is what I was expecting. At least the safety warning is gone now and everything is working as it should be
