Mokka's Multiple Warnings: ABS, DSC & Airbag Alert

Airbag warning light

ABS/DSC system is not working

Hi everyone, my 2021 Vauxhall Mokka Electric (52,509 km) is giving me some trouble. The ABS and DSC aren't working, plus I've got both airbag warning lights on. My last mechanic visit wasn't great, and they mentioned something about the steering angle sensor communication being faulty. Has anyone dealt with similar issues on their Mokka? Looking for recommendations on reliable mechanics who know their way around these electrical systems, and maybe a rough idea of repair costs. Starting to get a bit concerned about driving with these warning lights. Thanks in advance!

I had a similar issue with my 2020 Vauxhall Corsa-e last month. The warning lights for ABS and airbags popped up just like yours. Turned out the cable connection to the steering angle sensor was defective, causing communication issues with multiple systems. My regular mechanic couldn't figure it out, so I took it to a Vauxhall specialist who deals specifically with electric vehicles. They found that moisture had gotten into the wiring harness near the steering column, causing intermittent connection problems. The fix required replacing part of the wiring harness and recalibrating the steering angle sensor. It wasn't a super serious safety issue, but definitely needed fixing to get all systems working properly again. The whole job took about half a day. Make sure you find a mechanic who's certified to work on electric Vauxhalls, these systems are pretty complex and need specific diagnostic tools to properly identify and fix the problem. I'd recommend checking with your local Vauxhall dealership for specialist referrals.

Thanks for sharing your experience, that sounds exactly like what I'm dealing with! It's good to know I'm not the only one who's had this headache. Could you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for the fix? Also, has everything been running smoothly since then, or have you noticed any other quirks? I'm trying to figure out if I should brace myself for more repairs down the line.

Hey there! Just wanted to follow up about the cost question. After my mechanic visit, I'm happy to report that the steering angle sensor communication issue was completely resolved. The final bill came to 155.00 € for fixing the faulty cable connection to the sensor. And I've got great news, since the repair, everything's been running perfectly smooth! No more warning lights, no more glitches, just my Corsa-e working exactly as it should. I've put about 3,000 km on it since the fix and haven't noticed any other issues popping up. The Vauxhall specialist I mentioned before really knew their stuff, definitely worth going to someone who specializes in these electric models. They did mention it's a good idea to keep an eye out for any moisture getting into the wiring harness, but that's more of a preventive heads-up than an actual concern. Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about future repairs. Once they sort out that cable connection, you should be good to go!

Thanks so much for all the details! I actually just got back from the mechanic today, and you won't believe it, my issue was almost identical to yours! The moisture in the wiring harness was causing all those warning lights to go crazy. Found a certified Vauxhall specialist through the dealership, and they sorted it out pretty quick. Mine cost a bit more, around 180.00 €, probably because they had to replace a larger section of the wiring harness. But honestly, it's such a relief to have it fixed. Took the car for a good test drive afterward, and all the warning lights are finally off. The mechanic also showed me where to check for any signs of moisture build-up, which was super helpful. Really appreciate everyone's input here. Fingers crossed it stays running smoothly like yours!
