Partner ABS Lateral Sensor Fault

I'm having an issue with my 2015 Peugeot Partner diesel. The ABS light comes on and the ABS fails. A scan shows an error with the lateral acceleration sensor. It has 77293 km on the clock. Anyone seen this? The error memory suggests it could be a bad control unit.

I drive a Partner too. Sounds familiar. I had similar ABS light and system failure issues. It pointed to something with the stability control. Did your scan specifically say lateral acceleration sensor, or just a general ABS fault?

Yes, the report says lateral acceleration sensor fault. The error code suggests the sensor itself has failed, or maybe the control module. Were you able to fix it yourself, or did you need a workshop?

If it's pinpointing the lateral sensor, that's pretty conclusive. My diagnostic was less specific, so I wasted some time. I had to take it to a workshop in the end. They said it was a faulty control unit linked to the sensor. With your specific error code, I wouldn't try DIY unless you're good with electronics. You're probably looking at a new or refurbished control unit.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Looks like a workshop visit is needed. I got a quote for about 1000€ to replace the control unit, including labor. Seems like the defective control unit is the problem. Thanks again, your advice helped me confirm the issue before committing to the repair.
