Mokka Active Hood Fault

Sounds like a headache. Active hood is all about pedestrian safety, like a crumple zone for the hood. Airbag light on usually means the car thinks it's been in a shunt. Has the car had any front-end work or even a hard bump lately?

No, the car hasn't been in any collisions or had any front-end repairs that I know of. Could a faulty sensor cause this? I've read about acceleration sensors playing a role in the active hood system.

Yeah, acceleration sensor gone bad is the likely culprit. It's like a smoke detector that's too sensitive. Best get it checked, because if it thinks you've hit something, the airbags might deploy unexpectedly. A workshop should be able to pinpoint it.

Thanks so much for your help! I took it to a workshop, and you were right, it was indeed the acceleration sensor. They replaced it, and the error messages are now gone. The total cost was 315€. I really appreciate your advice!
