Xsara ABS Fault

I did check the wiring as best I could, didn't see anything obvious, but honestly, I'm no electrician. The DTC is C1350, if that helps. So, you're saying the control unit itself could be the culprit? That sounds expensive...

C1350 does indeed point towards a lateral acceleration sensor malfunction, and in many cases, the affected control unit is the source of the problem. Given the age of the vehicle and the diagnostic evidence, I would advise consulting a qualified technician for a thorough evaluation. The cost of repair, including parts and labor, could approach 1000€.

Sounds like I'm heading to the garage then. Appreciate the confirmation, at least I know what I'm potentially in for. Wish me luck!

A lateral acceleration sensor fault on a Citroen Xsara of that age often stems from a defective control unit. Have you inspected the wiring harness and connectors leading to the sensor and the ABS control module? A discontinuity there can mimic a sensor failure. Also, what specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) are you retrieving? This will help narrow down the potential fault pathways.
