Error code? 001423

Can someone please explain error code 001423 in plain language? It's constantly illuminating the ESP lamp on my Golf 4 (year 2000).
Thank you.
Manfred

i.d.R. VAG-COM already provides the plaintext:

01423 - Sensor for Lateral Acceleration (G200) - electronic. Fault in the electrical circuit

< Sensor installation for transverse acceleration (G200)
< Sensor for Lateral Acceleration (G200) is defective
< Interruption/Short circuit/Loose connection between the sensor (G200) and the control unit (J104)

> Verify the installation location of the sensor for lateral acceleration (G200)
> Check the lateral acceleration sensor (G200)
> Replace the lateral acceleration sensor (G200)
> Perform initial setup

01423 - Sensor for Lateral Acceleration (G200) - Unrealistic Signal

Hi,

You could also have typed in the search function with '*1423'...

Hello, Rainer

Wow, that sounds like a lot of $$$$. That's good that I cancelled the ESP on my Polo

OT, I know -> *duckandwayrun*
