The stability control module has detected that the lateral acceleration sensor signal is out of the expected range or does not match other inertial sensors. ESP and roll-stability functions may be disabled.

Affected components

  • Lateral acceleration sensor
  • Esp control module
  • Sensor cluster

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Lateral acceleration sensor failed or drifted
  • Medium likelihood: Sensor mounting loose or misaligned after body repair
  • Medium likelihood: Calibration after replacement not performed

Possible symptoms

  • ABS warning light on
  • ESC/stability control deactivated
  • Possible reduced brake assist
  • Speedometer may behave erratically
