Trigger observed - Front Camera Fault & Pre-Collision Assist Not Available

[cmsva1]

I’ve been getting the front camera fault message the past couple months. It will pop up, then clear itself in a few minutes.

With that, I started paying close attention to the environment when it happens. There were certain places on the roads that I travel often that were triggering it.

Finally I noticed a clear trend. I’m getting this camera Fault message when my Mach-e travels from dark asphalt into brighter concrete surface. Examples are Bridges or general changes in the surface type (asphalt to concrete).

Posting here to see if anyone else notices this?

Yes, many others. Some think temperature may also play a role. There’s a super long thread on this. The latter pages have a way to trigger it by tapping the headliner to determine if that is the issue. Enjoy!

A co-worker of mine experienced very similar issues. A local dealer had his Mach-E for 5 weeks and couldn't diagnose the problem until an actual Ford engineer took it for a drive while it was plugged in.

Apparently, in his case, an OTA update didn't complete successfully and the module was missing VIN information in a couple of areas of the program. The engineer re-installed the OTAs and applied all other available updates and he's had his car back for about a week with no issues.

I don't think its the color of the pavement, I think its the seam 'bump' rattling a loose connection.

anybody know how to pull that black cover off without breaking clips or anything else?
