Front Parking Sensor Activates Every Time I Go 5 MPH - Help Requested!

[Astrotrain00]

Hey guys. Just got my '25 Flash a week ago. Only 315 miles on her so far, but by far the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Yesterday, while plugged in, I did a climate precondition from the app. Since then, every time I hit 5 miles an hour (either accelerating OR decelerating) the camera comes on and it beeps like crazy. I also saw this a.m. a message that said something about the sensor (or front camera?) being dirty. It takes me from CarPlay into front camera view, messes with music volume, and beeps like a sonofa gun. BlueCruise still works fine. Cruise control and lane centering also still work fine.

Anyone experience this or have an idea on how to mitigate it? I saw there was a TSB but that looks like it was for '23s. I would assume that has been applied here. Maybe I shouldn't assume? Ha, this is my first Ford, so not a great experience out of the box.

Hopefully, I don't have to go back to the dealer already.

Fantastic rig otherwise.

Start off simple with a cleaning of the front camera. Mine says the camera is dirty once in a while - does not really look dirty, but a quick cleaning stops that message for a while.
No idea on the 5 MPH thing. Don't know if it's related to the camera (doubt it).

Only thing that goes off in my 2025 Flash at 5mph is the seat belt reminder if I'm not buckled up.

I see on your cluster a finish line flag, that means you're at your destination and you should cancel nav at that point. It could be making a noise to let you know.

Clean the front camera for that alert.

Thanks. 100% unrelated to destination. It does it every acceleration or deceleration when I hit 5 mph (backing out of driveway, rolling up to a stop light, taking off from said stop light, etc.).

I wiped down the front camera and sensors this a.m. before taking my daughter to daycare. No change in behavior.

Try a system reset, disconnect the lvb for 30 mins.

Thanks. Just negative terminal off with a 10mm? Anything else to do or worry about?

That's it.

After a LVB disconnect you may need to reset the Fronk if it doesn’t close when button is pushed.

Just slowly manually lower the fronk and when it’s all the way down the power latch will pull it closed. Then you should be set.

You can toggle the sensors off in the menu.

Good suggestion. Tried that. It won't beep, but the same activity still occurs. When I hit 5 mph the camera cuts on as though I'm about to run into something.

I'm going to disconnect LVB today and I made an appt at dealer for Monday just in case.

Also make sure your sensors are clean on the bumper.

Totally clean!

For those interested (or find this in 6 months with the same issue), I took the suggestion of RLXXI and did a LVB reset.

Appears to have fixed the problem for now.

On the fence about still going to the dealer on Monday. If it comes back in 2 days, that's one thing. If I take it there and it hasn't started again, I really don't want to waste the time to hear they "can't replicate the issue."

I wouldn't take it to the dealer unless the problem recurs. Sometimes the brains just need a reset for things to work properly after an update.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, too. Appreciate the help, y'all.
