Skoda Kamiq ABS Fault

I'm at my wit's end. My 2020 Skoda Kamiq with a diesel engine is acting up. The ABS lamp is constantly lit, and the whole ABS system seems to be offline. The error memory keeps flagging a fault with the lateral acceleration sensor. I suspect a defective control unit, but the garage is quoting me around 1000€ for the repair. Has anyone else experienced this? This safety warning is driving me nuts.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Kamiq. The ABS light kept appearing, and the vehicle stability system was acting up. Did you check the steering angle sensor as well? Sometimes those two are related.

Steering angle sensor, huh? Interesting. How did you determine it was the lateral acceleration sensor on yours? Was it a specific error code, or did you have any other unusual symptoms?

Mine threw a specific code pointing to the lateral sensor. The garage mentioned it's a common issue with the control unit on some models affecting the electronic stability. If you're seeing that error code, it's highly likely that's your problem. It's best to get it fixed, it's not worth driving around with questionable vehicle stability.

You were spot on. The local garage confirmed it's the lateral acceleration sensor. A new control unit was needed, just like you said. Cost me 1000€, ouch. But at least the ABS light is finally gone. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.
