Did a search and can’t find anything. Is there anyway to reset the Forward Collision Light? I bumped a bike rack in the garage (thought I had it in park. Duh). I tried pulling the #11 fuse, unplugged the battery for 30 min and it is still on. Can it be reset, or will it have to go back to the dealer? Thanks!

did you ding or dent anything on the vehicle? if so then it needs to be repaired and then it needs a recalibration which takes special equipment that few places outside of the dealer have.

Yep. About a 1 inch crease in the plastic trim on the bottom. Nothing else was touched.

ya on those I am not sure where the sensors are located, some are behind the bumper so if it is tweaked at all the sensor is now misaligned. Even if it's not really close if it tilted the bumper bracket or anything it throws it off kilter.

the sensors are basically trainagulated and calibrated so they can all function as one system, when one it pointed even a hair different then it's going to not work right.

This is why I do not put push button transmissions in Park, I just push the button to shut the engine off and it will automatically go into Park. Why do 2 tasks when just 1 will do.

I have not studied up on the system, but I thought the front facing camera handled a lot of the automation in the Lane Departure and Crash Detection, but there may also be a radar type transmitter/receiver behind the bumper.
