Front sensor blocked

[Charlieman22]

I gave my dealership the below, they did the software update and appears to have fixed the issue for me…

SSM 52161 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning - Equipped With Front Park Aid (Minor Feature Code HNLAB) - Inoperative Front Parking Sensors With Front Parking Sensors Not Available Sensors Blocked See Manual Message In The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
Some 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning vehicles equipped with front park aid (minor feature code HNLAB) may exhibit an inoperative front park aid feature with a Front Parking Sensors Not Available Sensors Blocked See Manual message in the IPC without any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) associated with the condition. To confirm a vehicle is built with a certain minor feature code, review the build information by double-clicking the vehicle identification number (VIN) in the upper left corner in the Professional Technician System (PTS). This may be due to the software level of the image processing module A (IPMA) and/or the power steering control module (PSCM). To correct the condition, reprogram the IPMA and the PSCM using the latest software level of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) diagnostic scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 14G647 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.

NOTE: The IPMA software update that addresses the symptom listed in this bulletin may have been sent via Ford Power-Up software updates delivered over-the-air (OTA) to connected vehicles that have automatic updates enabled through the center display screen. Enter the vehicle identification number (VIN) in Professional Technician System (PTS) and check the OTA Dashboard under the Connected Vehicle tab for OTA update history. If an update to the IPMA has successfully completed recently and the customer is reporting the symptoms are no longer present, this article may not apply.

Thanks. Appreciated.
My service manager mumbled something uncharitable about forums when I mentioned I might be able to supply the needed info.
Proceeded to type my make model and year in- and then pronounced “no known issue…”. I was not very impressed.

I’ll try again or contact a different dealer.
time is $… so would be nice to know they are onboard before committing to dropping it off.

thanks for taking the time to post.
helpful.

I got these in the front a while back and then after I got the BVM fix it went away. Now, after the latest FordPass update I’m getting false warnings front and back.

believe I read this before but supposedly I have one bad sensor that is throwing the system off and giving the sensor error. Sensor part is being body colored painted and replace. Will update if that help resolve the issue or not for those unfortunate to not get it fix by software update.

Got the vehicle back today and it appear the issue is fixed. I now get the normal parking warning when approaching an object like it supposed to. I guess the issue for my case is in fact a bad sensor.
