blindspot system fault/cross traffic fault


Recommended Posts

My 2014 Edge has a blindspot system fault AND cross traffic system fault.  The alerts show up every time I turn on the car (tried to upload pics but wont work).  Is this something that has to be fixed by the dealer?  Is there a way to fix myself?  Unfortunately both dealers near me have bad reputations.  i know they would probably charge me something outrageous.

 

ALSO, is there a module on the left side and right?  Or just one.

There are two, one on each side.

 

For codes, a standard reader won't read such codes, you need something that can read Ford specific codes (enhanced codes). Best thing is to use ForScan with a compatible adapter like the OBDLink MX+.

Ok.  I’ll have to look into that. 
I did check all the sensors (back up) and they all work.  Just the BLIS and cross traffic on the pass side. Probably that module behind the bumper on the pass side.  I was rear ended a few years ago and it started acting up a few months after the wreck. Probably related. The modules say “set aside if dropped “. Sounds fragile.

Im having a similar issue in my 2011 mkx. It doesnt do it every time and its sporadic. When mine acts up it also kills my climate control. Any ideas?
