Mercedes ML active hood fault

I've seen something similar on my ML I'm not sure about the exact cause in your case, but is the hood latch itself functioning correctly? I had a weird issue where the hood wasn't sitting quite right, and it triggered some odd car safety warnings It could be worth checking before you start replacing car sensors

When you say 'not sitting quite right,' what do you mean exactly? Was it visibly misaligned, or was it more subtle? I'll definitely take a closer look at the hood latch mechanism

For me it was very subtle The hood appeared closed, but maybe one side was a hair higher than the other Enough to possibly mess with the sensor readings But I would still suggest a proper diagnostic at the workshop, just to be sure These safety systems can be tricky

I inspected the hood latch, but it seemed fine I took it to the workshop as you suggested It was the acceleration car sensor! I replaced it, and the active hood fault and airbag light are gone I appreciate the help!
