Automatic Crash Notification System Off warning

[CrazyLady74]

That notification system probably has a few sensors or a module it needs a read from, to know if it can notify. Like the modem.

Something as simple as a timing issue of no read for the milliseconds it needs a response - you'll get the error.

Does not mean the actions that happen as part of the crash shutoff are prevented from working.
In fact - I'd bet the relay or switch that shuts off the fuel would throw a very serious error message if it appeared it could not operate. That feature has been around since before the 80's, probably mandated.

I'm sure if you had a scanner read module error logs - there is one like I get frequently on the AC module or radio module - failed to communicate with the PCM, or Display, ect.
For the moment during a start - there was a glitch. But because it communicated later - no lights shown.
But it's in the error logs.

You may never see it again. Or the electrons may be perfectly aligned some future time.

Thanks for your answer...seems to make the most sense to me.

Where is the sensor? The truck is almost 3 years old, always parked in the garage and this was the first time we got that notice, and the next time we started the truck, after church, it was no longer there. So maybe a dirty sensor? Communication issue?

Just out of curiosity today when I went out.
I put a piece of black electrical tape over my camera in the middle of the windshield.

I received no warnings whatsoever.
I tried using my Lane assist. It didn't give any warnings, but it also did not detect being in a lane. The little notification stayed White instead of turning Green or Red.
Mind you, on my pre-collision assist I have the alert sensitivity set to high

In a couple of days I plan on using a larger piece of vinyl over the sensor and I'm going to put some aluminum speed tape over the sides of the bumper to see if I can elicit any warnings.
