Summary of the thread
A 2018 Dacia Lodgy is experiencing issues with the Airbag and ABS warning lights, and the ABS/DSC system seems faulty. The problem might be related to the lateral acceleration sensor, but the exact cause is uncertain. A similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by replacing the ABS/DSC control unit, which could be a potential solution. It is recommended to have the vehicle checked at a reliable workshop to ensure safety and determine the exact cause.

Hey! Cheers for the reply. Last serviced my Lodgy at 51603 KM, was just the regular maintenance stuff, oil change n' all. Besides the warning lights, I've also noticed a sort of pulsating feeling when I'm braking, kind of like the ABS is kickin' in when it shouldn't. Haven't had any recent work done on it though. Really hope it ain't a control unit issue, sounds like a pricey fix, but I appreciate the heads up. Gotta make sure my ride's safe n' all, right?

Hey there, your description of a pulsating feeling definitely suggests it’s ABS related. My Logan also showed similar symptoms just before the control unit needed replacement. It's like the ABS kicks in irregularly, right? If it's the same ordeal, then it might just be that control unit acting up. I know how you feel about the price; trust me, it pinched my pocket too. But safety first, especially with something as serious as the ABS/DSC. It's worth getting it checked out at a reliable workshop. If it IS the control unit, there may not be much of a workaround other than replacement, unfortunately. Do keep us updated on the situation! Crossin' my fingers it's something less expensive for ya. Safe drivin'.

Hello again, I can't thank you enough for your insight. Yeah, the ABS is definitely doing a jig when it shouldn't. Honestly, I've been driving around, keeping my fingers crossed that it's just a sensor issue. But hearing about your experience, I reckon I'll have it checked out at my local workshop pretty soon. Not thrilled about the potential costs, but you're right – can't compromise on safety. Keep you posted on what they find. Drive safe!

Hey there, I ran into a similar issue with my 2016 Dacia Logan. For context, I ain't no mechanic, but I have enough experience to get by (some might say 'low experience'). Ended up taking it to my local workshop after a bit of trial and error. It turned out to be a bummed ABS/DSC control unit and had to replace it to the tune of 1000€. Might be worth checking your Lodgy for the same issue. Out of interest, can you tell me more about any recent work you've had done? Or any specific symptoms apart from the warning lights? The more info I have, the more suggestions I could toss your way.
