Usually safe to drive short distances, but the fault will not clear itself and can worsen or fail an emissions test.
Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor Single Sensor or Center
This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.
General fault on the radar/lidar/camera distance-range sensor used by adaptive cruise control. On systems with a single sensor or three sensors with a center unit, this code refers to the central sensor — without it, ACC distance control is disabled and the system falls back to plain cruise.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
