Venue Active Hood Fault and Airbag Warning

I'm getting an "Active hood fault" message and the airbag light is on in my 2020 Hyundai Venue with a gasoline engine, which now has 147461 km. Diagnostics say there's an error and the spring actuators have been triggered. Could this be a bad acceleration sensor?

A 2020 Hyundai Venue displayed an "Active hood fault" message and an airbag warning light. Diagnostics indicated an error with triggered spring actuators, suggesting a possible defective acceleration sensor. The interconnected nature of modern car safety systems means a malfunction in the active hood system could affect the airbag system. It was advised to seek professional diagnosis, which confirmed the faulty sensor, leading to a repair costing 315€.

That sounds complex, involving the car's electronics and pedestrian safety. With the active hood fault, airbag warning, and triggered actuators, a defective acceleration sensor seems plausible. Has the car been in any minor collisions that might have affected the sensor?

Thanks. The car hasn't been in any collisions that I know of. Could a faulty sensor cause the airbag warning light, or are those systems usually separate?

Yes, a faulty acceleration sensor in the active hood system could trigger the airbag warning light. Modern car safety systems are interconnected. If the active hood system malfunctions, it can affect other safety features. Given the complexity and potential safety impact, I'd strongly suggest taking your Venue to a qualified workshop for a thorough diagnosis. It's really the safest bet.

I appreciate the advice. I took it to a certified workshop. They confirmed a defective acceleration sensor, and the repair was 315€ including parts and labor. Thanks for confirming my suspicions and recommending professional help.
