Peugeot 308 ABS Lateral Sensor Fault

Sounds rough! I had almost the EXACT same thing happen with my old Opel Astra. ABS light, the whole shebang. They told me it was the lateral sensor too. Did you check the steering angle sensor? That was part of the problem on mine.

Steering angle sensor? How was that involved? I'd been focused on the lateral acceleration sensor.

Well, on my Astra, apparently, the two sensors work together for the electronic stability program (ESP). The workshop told me that a fault in one can trigger errors in the other. Honestly, I'd just take it to a trusted workshop to get properly diagnosed. In the end, it cost me a small fortune. But at least I got rid of the blasted warning lights!

Thanks, I'll book a diagnostic appointment. Good to know about the lateral acceleration and steering angle sensors being linked in the ESP system. I will post what they find. They have told me to expect a bill for around 1000€.
