Mini Paceman ABS Lateral Acceleration Sensor Fault

I had similar ABS and lateral sensor issues on my Mini. Same symptoms: ABS light, system failure. The electronic control module threw the same error code. Do you know the yaw rate being reported?

Interesting. I haven't checked the raw yaw rate data directly. Was the defective lateral sensor the sole cause in your case? Did it require a complete electronic control replacement as well, or just the sensor itself?

Just the lateral sensor needing replacement. It's mounted near the yaw sensor, often they fail together, but in my case the yaw rate seemed fine. A new sensor sorted it, but get the wheel alignment checked afterwards. If the error persists, then consider the control unit.

Took the Paceman to a trusted mechanic, and you were spot on. The lateral acceleration sensor was indeed faulty. New sensor installed, wheel alignment done, and the ABS system is back online. Cost me around 1000€. Thanks a lot for your insight!
