Ford: Bronco Park Aid

Some 2021-2022 Ford Bronco vehicles equipped with parking aid sensors may exhibit a park aid system that does not remain deactivated after the vehicle has been off for more than 5 minutes. The vehicle may exhibit false alerts from the parking aid warning system which may cause it to activate while driving or towing  or due to the presence of a winch. This may be due to the software within the instrument panel cluster (IPC), 

Reprogram the IPC using the latest software level. Note: If a MyKey has been programmed to the vehicle, use the admin key to operate the vehicle throughout the procedure. 

Refresh the park aid system by cycling all parking aid sensors from on to off several times, engine in off. 

Turn the vehicle off and let it sit undisturbed for at least 5 minutes. Test drive to verify that all parking aid sensor warning chimes remain deactivated when obstructions are in close proximity to front and rear bumpers. If the park aid system fails to remain disabled, disconnect the vehicle’s 12V battery for at least 5  minutes, reconnect the battery and repeat the test drive.
