Collision Warning System Malfunction

About a year ago, car was involved in a frontal collision, before I owned the car. Below is what data card shows as features. Recently, I ran a scan using LAUNCH and got error code. When I scroll through the car's cluster, it shows collision warning system is on. I've driven close to other vehicles, but did not get the loud warning alert, so that tells me system is offline. Where is the radar sensor for that system located? It's possible previous owner never bothered to fix it knowing he was going to sell car. Also, car doesn't have Distronic, per data card.

In Xentry ( maybe in your tool too), in Actual Values of the FCW you have to reset the Crash sisgnal.

Generally, when using LAUNCH, go into the module (i.e., SG-AWF) and explore these functions until you find something that matches what you are trying to do. It's usually in Special Function, Variant Coding, or Setting/Changeover. Remember to always make a backup before making any changes.
