Hi, thanks for the reply. Looks like maybe I should contact a mechanic after all. Can you remember how much the whole thing cost you? And have you had any other problems since then or has everything gone smoothly? Thanks again!

Sure, no problem. So since I took my car to the garage, everything has been working perfectly. In other words, the problem with the lateral acceleration sensor has been successfully resolved. No more warning lights and so on, so I'm super happy. The ABS control unit was faulty and the repair cost quite a bit, around €1000. But hey, safety first, as we all know, and I have to say that my car drove like a dream again afterwards. It's really reassuring to know that the ABS system will work properly if the worst comes to the worst. I hope I was able to help and keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well for you!

Hello, thank you very much for the information. Expensive, yes, but as you say, safety first. I will take my car to the garage as soon as possible and hope that they can solve the problem as smoothly as they did for you. It's comforting to know that you haven't had any problems since. I hope for the best for my Prius. Thanks again for the support and advice! Best regards!

Hi, I recently had a similar problem with my 2009 Toyota Auris. The same warning lights came on and the ABS system failed. It turned out that the ABS control unit was faulty. It was a serious problem as it severely affected the braking performance of the vehicle. As my mechanic was very competent, everything went smoothly. He was able to quickly identify the problem and replace the control unit. Although it was a major job, everything ran smoothly again afterwards. It's important to get this resolved as quickly as possible, as it has a significant impact on safety. I wish you the best of luck and hope that your problem is solved quickly!
