What does the front parking radar system failure in Magotan mean?
2 Answers
Magotan front parking radar system failure means the parking radar system is unavailable. Below are the specific reasons for parking radar system failure: 1. Incorrect installation or malfunction of the sensor: When the radar sensor fails, the vehicle's parking radar will stop working. In this case, check if the radar has loose wiring or cracks. 2. Obstruction in front of the sensor: This prevents the radar from detecting. Check if the rear radar is covered by snow or mud, and clean it to restore normal function. 3. High vehicle temperature: This can cause the radar sensor to malfunction. Parking radars have adaptation issues, and after prolonged exposure to sunlight, the radar may fail. In this situation, move the vehicle to a shaded area to cool down.
I've also encountered this situation and thought about it. A front radar malfunction means there's an issue with those small circular probes at the front of the car. It could be that mud and water during rainy days have covered the probes, or the high-pressure water gun during car washing damaged them. Sometimes, the probe wires are chewed through by rodents, or winter ice affects the signal, leading to false alarms. Last time, I found that after a front collision, the probe had shifted by a fraction of a millimeter, causing the system to fail. I recommend first cleaning the probe surface with a damp cloth and restarting the vehicle. If the yellow triangle exclamation mark on the dashboard is still lit, you'll need to use a diagnostic tool to read the specific fault code, as there are many wiring harnesses inside the bumper.
