I have a new 2021 Outer Banks with Lux package. Recently installed a Rough Country Bull Bar with lights and it is interfering with the two center bumper sensors causing them to trigger.. You can go on screen into features and turn off the front sensors but they only stay off for one key cycle. So you have to turn them off every time you start the vehicle. Is there any way to turn them off permanently? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Bob

There is no manual override inside the vehicle aside from the method you already discovered but, perhaps the sensors can be programmed out via ForScan but I am not smart enough for that (yet)

It’s part of your preflight checklist. Turn off lane sensors, turn off auto stop (even in my manual!), turn off parking sensors (can’t you mash the button next to auto stop?), switch to BAJA, then back to 2H. By then the little turbo motor has warmed up, almost. And we’re off!

Thanks for your reply. Ford dealer doesn’t know if they can be programmed out. I think their techs are still learning about Broncos. They said it would cost me $135 to find out!

Does anyone out there know if you can permanently program out the front assist parking sensors on a 2021 Bronco using ForScan?
