Frontier Radar Sensor Error

I own a 2015 Nissan Frontier with a gasoline engine. Recently, at 100824 km, an error message appeared in the speedometer related to the radar sensor. This is accompanied by a warning light and a stored error. The failure seems to affect other systems. Could a dirty sensor cause these widespread issues?

A 2015 Nissan Frontier displayed a radar sensor error at 100824 km, affecting multiple systems. A dirty sensor was suspected as the cause. Cleaning the sensor resolved the issue, restoring normal system function. A diagnostic scan and potential recalibration were suggested but not needed after cleaning.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

It's plausible that a dirty radar sensor could be the culprit. Modern automotive sensors are sensitive, and if the radar's view is obstructed, it can indeed trigger cascading failures in systems that rely on its input. Is the sensor easily accessible for inspection?

I have visually inspected the sensor; however, I lack the expertise to ascertain its cleanliness definitively. Should a specialized radar calibration be necessary even following a simple cleaning?

A calibration might not always be necessary after cleaning, but it's prudent to check. Given the complexity and integration of these systems, I would suggest having a workshop perform a diagnostic scan. They can determine if recalibration is required after cleaning.

Thank you for the advice. I took it to a local shop, and you were spot on. The sensor was indeed dirty. Cleaning it resolved the issue; the total cost was 45€. All systems are functioning normally again.
