Passenger Side Blind Spot Assist Very Sensitive

Hello fellow forum members!

I bought my car in December from a Mercedes dealership. As part of its pre-inspection and prep, they replaced the rear wiring harnesses and both blind spot sensors(corrosion im guessing, with 61k miles). Since I have had it, the passenger side is HYPER sensitive...often times alerting me when nothing is in the right lane or when making a right on a two lane road(picking up the curb maybe?). Is there a way to adjust sensitivity? I have alerted the dealership of the issue but have yet to make it there due to location and contraints.

Any ideas or suggestions are apprectiated.

Thank you,
Chris

new BS ghosts...

You had both rear BS modules & harness replaced but ghosts keep being detected.


I don't think the sensitivity can be dialed down. "All work is guaranteed"... book a Sce Apt ASAP to give your dealer a chance to complete their work.

A pair of new sensors still trigger false targets, this problem may involve CAN disruptions. Give the factory trained dealer a chance to earn your trust.

If you're curious... scan your car to survey all modules that are actively logging faults.
