C1A07 on MINI
Stability Control Lateral Acceleration Sensor
C1A07 on MINI vehicles indicates stability control lateral acceleration sensor. Au7o has documented this code across 1 MINI model — most commonly on Cooper. This is a manufacturer-specific chassis code indicating a fault related to the stability control system's lateral acceleration (G) sensor. This sensor measures sideways force on the vehicle during cornering, and the Electronic Stability Control system uses it together with the yaw and steering-angle inputs to decide when to intervene. C1A07 sets when the module detects an implausible, out-of-range, or unreliable signal from that sensor. Stability and traction control are typically disabled (warning light on) while normal braking and driving continue. Typical repair costs on MINI range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of C1A07
- •Faulty lateral acceleration (G) sensor or combined yaw/G sensor
- •Sensor calibration/zero-point not learned after repair
- •Wiring or connector fault to the sensor
- •Low system voltage affecting sensor output
- •Loose or improperly mounted sensor
- •Communication fault between sensor and stability module
- •Faulty ABS/stability control module
C1A07 on MINI by Model
MINI Cooper(1 issue)
- Electric Power Steering Rack Failure2014-2025
F56 generation Coopers experience electric power steering rack failures. The EPS motor or control module within the rack fails, causing sudden loss of power assist or intermittent heavy steering. This is a safety concern as it can happen while driving.

What does C1A07 mean on MINI?▼
C1A07 stands for "Stability Control Lateral Acceleration Sensor." This is a manufacturer-specific chassis code indicating a fault related to the stability control system's lateral acceleration (G) sensor. This sensor measures sideways force on the vehicle during cornering, and the Electronic Stability Control system uses it together with the yaw and steering-angle inputs to decide when to intervene. C1A07 sets when the module detects an implausible, out-of-range, or unreliable signal from that sensor. Stability and traction control are typically disabled (warning light on) while normal braking and driving continue. On MINI specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes C1A07 on MINI vehicles?▼
Common causes on MINI: Faulty lateral acceleration (G) sensor or combined yaw/G sensor, Sensor calibration/zero-point not learned after repair, Wiring or connector fault to the sensor, Low system voltage affecting sensor output, Loose or improperly mounted sensor. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix C1A07 on a MINI?▼
Repair costs on MINI range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
