Ford Ikon radar sensor malfunction

I've got a 2015 Ford Ikon with a gasoline engine and about 138k km. Recently, the radar sensor seems to have given up. I'm getting an error message and the error memory confirms the sensor malfunction. This is causing driving assistance systems to freak out, along with a constant warning light. I suspect a dirty sensor. Has anyone else dealt with this?

I had something similar happen on my Ikon! Is it impacting your collision avoidance system too? Thought I was going crazy, kept getting phantom braking alerts before all the driving assistance features went offline.

Phantom braking, huh? Interesting. I'm not getting quite that, but the collision warning is definitely acting up. What did you end up doing to fix it? Did you try cleaning it yourself before taking it somewhere?

Yeah, the collision warning was the first sign something was amiss. I tried cleaning the sensor, but no dice. Ended up taking it to the workshop; they sorted it out pretty quickly. Might be worth getting it checked.

Thanks for the info! Took it to the shop and you were spot on - just a dirty sensor. They cleaned and recalibrated it, all good now. Cost me 45€. Appreciate the help!
