Blazer Radar Sensor Error

My 2005 Chevrolet Blazer with a gasoline engine has a recurring speedometer error and warning light. Error memory indicates a radar sensor malfunction, causing other system failures. Could a dirty sensor be the cause, or is it something more serious?

A faulty radar sensor can trigger a cascade of errors because it's integrated with safety systems like adaptive cruise control. What's the mileage? Have you tried cleaning the sensor? Road grime might interfere with it.

The Blazer has 130562 kilometers. How should I clean the sensor? What cleaning agents or techniques should I use to avoid damage?

Given the mileage and symptoms, cleaning is worth trying, but I suspect the sensor is faulty. A workshop visit is a good idea. They can pinpoint the problem and calibrate the sensor if needed.

I visited a local workshop as suggested. The sensor was just dirty! A cleaning and recalibration for 45€ resolved everything. Thanks!
