Toyota iQ Active Hood Fault

Hi, I have a 2011 Toyota iQ diesel with 169144 km. I'm getting an "Active hood fault" message on the computer, plus the airbag light is on. Error memory also shows a fault. Seems the spring actuators are triggering. Could this be the acceleration sensor?

I had something similar happen with my Toyota iQ. Is it affecting your crash detection system?

How did you know it was the crash detection system? And what was the cause?

Yeah, sounds like the acceleration sensor. I'd get it checked at a workshop. They quoted me 315€ to fix it.

Thanks, I appreciate the insight! Took it to the shop, and you were right, it was the acceleration sensor. Replaced and all good!
