Citan radar sensor problem

My 2013 Mercedes Citan with a gasoline engine, mileage at 216048 km, has a radar sensor that seems to have failed. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer, and the error memory isn't happy. This affects the safety systems. I'm also seeing failures in other vehicle systems and a warning light. What could be the deal

A malfunctioning radar sensor can trigger a cascade of issues due to its integration with various vehicle systems. I experienced a similar situation with my Citan. Was adaptive cruise control affected If so, the radar sensor's role in these systems becomes evident. It's worth investigating whether the sensor's field of view is obstructed or if the sensor itself is compromised. Automotive sensors can be sensitive.

Adaptive cruise is definitely not working now. What do you mean by obstructed Exactly how did you fix it

When I mentioned 'obstructed,' I was referring to the possibility of dirt or debris accumulating on the radar sensor. Did you consider cleaning the radar sensor initially My assumption about cleaning the radar sensor is based on the potential for a non-hardware related cause. Given the interconnected nature of modern vehicle systems, especially those relying on automotive sensors, professional diagnosis is advisable. A workshop can perform radar calibration and pinpoint the root cause more effectively.

Turns out it was just a dirty sensor. 45€ later and its fixed. Thanks
