XC90 ABS Failure Lateral Acceleration Sensor

I had a similar issue with my 2018 Audi A4. ABS light was on, and the system was throwing a yaw rate sensor error. It made driving a real pain. What exactly does the diagnostic scan say about the lateral acceleration sensor? Is it intermittent, or is it a hard failure?

The diagnostic scan indicates an intermittent signal from the lateral acceleration sensor. The error code suggests an implausible signal, fluctuating erratically even when the vehicle is stationary. The steering angle data seems accurate, though I am concerned about other readings that could be impacted and are not being picked up. This intermittent nature is particularly challenging. Did your Audi present the same pattern? Any details regarding your experience would be helpful.

Yup, sounds almost identical to what I saw. The signal would drop out randomly. I tried a few things, but honestly, it was beyond my skillset. In the end, I took it to a workshop. They were able to pinpoint the issue and replace the sensor. If you're seeing that kind of behavior, you're probably best off getting it checked out professionally. It's a safety issue, after all.

I appreciate your confirmation and advice. It seems prudent to seek professional assistance, given the implications for vehicle safety. I will schedule an appointment with my trusted Volvo workshop for a comprehensive evaluation. A replacement of the affected control unit is estimated to cost around 1000€, and I shall proceed accordingly. Thanks for sharing your insights. It has been invaluable.
