VVC-Geeza Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I have conducted a search on Google and explored many forums. Has anybody successfully resolved the problem with the forward alert sensor? I have seen this code many times in GAP: C1A67-96. As is often understood, it dissipates with the vehicle's cycle (stop/start). It functioned for many weeks, but then unexpectedly reemerged. Deactivated and reactivated the Range; all functions are operating normally. It is suggested that the front sensor requires replacement. Some assert that the front sensor has faulty wiring or requires alignment (necessitating bumper removal). I am capable of doing this task; however, it would be unfortunate if a replacement sensor were needed and I did not possess it prior to removing the bumper. However, the sensor is expensive, if I can locate one. Some even suggest it may be a defective battery. The resting voltage seems to be around 12.22 volts. During winter, I sometimes saw 11.96 volts, and all I did was open the doors. Should I consider replacing the battery? The battery is about 2-3 years old and comes from Land Rover. Regardless, I acknowledge the abundance of discussions on this topic; yet, after 13 years, there seems to be no conclusion or definitive answer. Perhaps none exists, humorously speaking.

DreamCatcher88 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 My vehicle has the same issue around once a month, consistently when in motion; it has never happened at starting or while using cruise control. It mainly occurs after encountering a pothole or an abrupt road irregularity. I have no want to remove my front bumper, and my vehicle is an early 2011 AB model that seems to retain certain components from 2010. The 2010 model had two sensors under the bumper, however the subsequent 2011 and 2012 models are equipped with a single sensor located below the bumper cover. I am uncertain about the version I own, or if I have the dual sensor version, and which one, if any, is defective. I am unable to access the area under the bumper to verify if the connector(s) may be loose. I suppose I will endure it, at least until the temperature significantly increases in this area.

Ken_Lion Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 My car has the same problem around once a month, constantly when in motion; it has never occurred while starting or while using cruise control. It primarily happens after the meeting with a pothole or a sudden road imperfection. I do not like to detach my front bumper, and my car is an early 2011 AB model that seems to retain certain components from 2010. The 2010 model had two sensors under the bumper, however the succeeding 2011 and 2012 versions are outfitted with a single sensor positioned below the bumper cover. I am unsure of the version I own, if I have the twin sensor variant, and which, if any, is malfunctioning. I cannot reach the space behind the bumper to see if the connector(s) may be loose. I anticipate enduring it, at least until the temperature markedly rises in this region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Lion Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Enter your VIN on vindecoderz.com to see whether it is a 2011.5 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Lion Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I would begin with a new, high-quality AGM battery. Eliminate the codes as well. Historic codes for erroneous ABS or steering angle data held in other modules may cause the CCF (speed control module, ACC) to display this issue.

VVC-Geeza Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 I could have already experienced speed control. However, I cannot assert that it manifests each time the forward sensor code is present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VVC-Geeza Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 Vindecoderz indicates the year 2011. I presume you are referring to it indicating the year as 2011.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
