When driving for extended periods in areas with few or no objects for the radar sensor to detect, the radar sensor switches off due to the self-test and sets fault code C174AFB - The adjustment of the 'Active Brake Assist' control unit has malfunctioned. Remedy
• Check the area of the front radar for damage.
• Check whether fault code "C174AFB - The adjustment of the 'Active Brake Assist' control unit has malfunctioned" is set in the B92 or B92/1 Active Brake Assist/Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC (ABA/DTR) (FCW177) control unit.
• If the fault code is present, check the vertical actual values.
• If these are not OK, please correct the value with inspection of installation position or calibration of installation height (see attachment 2021 NDTD_Vans_Radar Sensor for best practices and functionality info)
• If the actual values are OK, please update the software.
