Front Claw Canards & Collision sensors

[찌르는 것 GT1]

Not sure what section to post my question... so I'll try here.

I just installed claw canards (non-LED) on the front of my Stinger.

About a day after installing them, I noticed I started getting false triggers on the front left collision sensor (I am not getting alarms on the center/right sensors).

Has anyone that has installed canards, had any issues with them triggering the sensors in the front bumper?

Or it must be a coincidence that I now may have a failing sensor on the left side... ?

Sucks, as this will engage the anti-collision braking, if it's enabled.

Anyone have one fail yet? Wonder if the dealer will give me problems asking them to troubleshoot it under warranty, with canards installed.

example pic attached...

Since you are the ONLY one to describe such a phenomenon, so far, I expect that you'll get no responses about the canard/sensor interplay.

That is very weird. What you have, I guess, is a "sensitive sensor".

Sucks, as this will engage the anti-collision braking, if it's enabled.

Really? Wouldn't that be risky? To have the brakes engage each time a sensitive sensor (for whatever reason) is set off is asking for loss of control of the vehicle. There has to be more involved to engage anti-collision braking than just a random artifact that sets off the sound.

I bought a set but thought that they were a bit bulky looking and did not install; so they are for sale for anyone interested; brand new, was looking for a sleeker look from them.

yeah... and in the same time frame that it started, we had torrential rain downpours. I am wondering if something is stuck on the sensor (dirt, debris, etc) or if rain water got inside a sensitive/sealed sensor part.

Gonna take it to the dealer... I can't have the anti-collision system throwing false alarms.

Forgetting to turn it off just once, could crash me...

Not sure what algorithm is used for the front emergency braking, but I doubt that it uses the parking sensors, their range is too limited. I thought that it used the active radar unit mount behind the center of the grill.

I've had my (LED) canards for a year and only rarely get false parking sensor beeps (usually when they're wet). I have anti-collision braking enabled and have never had it activate randomly.

Thanks for the replies...

I've found that it's the Parking Assist that is alarming, and not the anti-collision. It's going to the dealer to have them troubleshoot this particular sensor. There are no alarms in Drive/Reverse when above 15mph, so no fears with the anti-collision braking engaging randomly...

For now, I've temporality disabled the Park Assist to stop all the false alarms.
