Morning all just bought a 2017 QQ, and seems like every so often the “front radar obstruction” fault light comes on while driving (very inconsistent), I’ve cleaned the car so no dirt is causing the issue, any ideas please?

Welcome to this forum.

Sorry, but the usual answer is "clean the car", so I can't advise further.

Very difficult to say. Its radar detection and processing that will control the ABS system. Is the two car crash symbol the only warning you get? Often you may get a check engine lamp orange or perhaps red at the same time if a fault exists.

Try switching it OFF in the menu system for a while. Switch on later

If you bought from a dealer ask them has the radar system software been updated since 2017. There was a recall for it circa 2018

Hi,

Yes the only symbol I’m getting is the yellow 2 car crash light.

I bought it private, but it’s not like we depend on it just want it to work basically.

Not to sure about software updates it has had?

...

Faults related that we see here would commonly throw up a distinct orange or red engine symbol as well. Perhaps its not that kind of trouble?

Ask the seller about software updates for the radar FEB system. It has to got to Nissan for that...it is a free update. Mine was done at first service and the Nissan dealer should have a record of it.

oh...there is a recall for the rear pax doors child locks...check if thats been done also. Its free
