Collision Avoidance Sensors

[LarryJ]

My new Ranger is in its firs wet snowstorm. After about 5 miles of driving I received an alarm that the collision avoidance sensors were not working. Then my Apple Watch went off from FordPass saying there was a malfunction. My guess is snow over the sensors, but I do not know where the sensors are located. Front bumper? Any quick help appreciated.

They seem to be sensitive to snowy and rainy conditions:

In a heavy wet snowstorm, my Explorer sensors would get covered too and the adaptive cruise control would say in active as sensor obscured. I'd just go in front and clean it off and it'd work again.

Yep, my wife drives a 2017 explorer sport and that and my ranger will do this if covered with snow or ice. Totally normal, maybe annoying, but still normal.
