XC90 Active Hood Fault

I had a similar issue with my XC90. Active hood faults are a pain. Does the message appear constantly, or only sometimes? Have you had any front-end work done recently, or any minor impacts?

The message is constant, it's there every time I start the car. No front-end work recently and no impacts that I'm aware of. Could it be a faulty sensor?

Sounds like it. In my case, the acceleration sensor was defective. That triggered the whole system and threw the same errors you're seeing. You'll probably need to visit a workshop to get it diagnosed and replaced. It's part of the crash detection/pedestrian safety system.

Thanks for the info! I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – faulty acceleration sensor. Repair cost me 315€. Appreciate the help!
