That is certainly useful information. When you mention 'cleaning,' could you elaborate on the specific area that requires attention? My understanding of the radar system is admittedly somewhat limited, and I want to ensure I address the appropriate component.

While I managed a temporary fix, it ultimately returned. Given the complexity of the adaptive cruise and radar calibration required, a workshop visit is likely necessary. They possess specialized tools for accurate diagnosis and recalibration. In my case, it was indeed diagnosed as a faulty radar sensor connection, causing the sensor malfunction.

I see. I recall encountering a similar electronic issue with my Mini. Specifically, the adaptive cruise control malfunctioned, triggering a radar sensor error. If I remember correctly, it also affected other systems. Did you check the sensor itself for any obvious signs of damage or obstruction? It might be a simple fix like cleaning it.
