Intermittent electronic warnings or sensor faults: causes and the faults that trigger it
Messages that appear and disappear usually come from dirty or misaligned sensors or cameras, unstable electrical voltage, a poor connection or a software fault. According to RACE, in modern cars an electrical anomaly can affect several systems at once, and the most useful step is a fault code reading of all the control units.[1][2]
18 documented faults cause it in 14 engines. The most important:
- High severity: High-voltage battery contactors overheating: loss of power · Ford Mustang Mach-E
- High severity: Faulty ICCU: 12 V battery drains, charging fails and power is lost · Hyundai-Kia E-GMP (Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, EV6)
- Critical severity: Moisture ingress at the battery connection on the early units (2019) · Audi e-tron / Q8 e-tron
What it means
Messages that appear and disappear (driver assistance unavailable, parking sensors, lights) are usually caused by dirty or faulty sensors, connectors with moisture or software faults.
General explanation from MotorFiable. How it shows up in each engine, with sources, is in the list of faults.
What to do now
Monitor
Note the exact messages and when they appear. Ask for a fault code read-out of all the control units, not just the engine one.
Most common causes
From most to least likely according to the sources. Under each cause, the part and the related OBD codes.
1. Dirty or covered cameras and sensors
Common causeRACE explains that mud, ice, insects, snow or water can interfere with the cameras and radars of the driver assistance systems, and that stickers or accessories near the camera also make it harder to read.[2]
2. Light or weather conditions
Common causeAccording to RACE, heavy rain, fog, snow or low sun in your eyes can make the system show a warning or become unavailable. In that case it usually works again when conditions improve.[2]
3. Deteriorated battery, earth or connections
Common causeRACE says that incorrect voltage can cause errors in several control units and that a poor earth contact or sulphated terminals produce electronic errors that come and go and are hard to reproduce.[1]
Faults with with the 12 V batteryFaults with with the electrical wiring
4. Lack of calibration after a knock or a windscreen replacement
Possible causeRACE points out that after a windscreen replacement, a front-end impact, a bumper repair or a major alignment it may be necessary to recalibrate the ADAS, and that incorrect calibration can trigger warnings or deactivate the assistance.[2][3]
5. Control unit software fault
Possible causeRACE reminds readers that a manufacturer update can fix faults in sensors and ADAS assistants, and that some updates are official campaigns for safety or reliability.[4]
Faults with with the control unitsFaults with with driver assistance systems
6. Faulty fuse or relay
Possible causeFor RACE, a blown fuse or faulty relay can leave a specific component not working and cause intermittent faults that are hard to track down.[1]
7. Faulty or poorly sealed parking sensor
UncommonRACE says electromagnetic parking sensors can give erroneous readings near metal objects and have problems with rain if they are not properly waterproofed.[5]
Depending on what you notice
Driver assistance or camera "not available"
RACE links camera or radar messages to dirt, ice, rain, low sun, stickers next to the camera and loss of calibration. If the warning repeats, it advises checking the system before carrying on using it as normal.[2][3]
The parking sensors beep on their own or don't detect anything
RACE points to interference from metal objects and to rain on electromagnetic sensors, and to waterproofing problems. Ultrasonic sensors measure using waves that bounce off obstacles.[5]
The car brakes by itself with no real danger
RACE describes phantom braking as an activation of the automatic braking caused by an erroneous sensor reading, related to dirt, shadows or reflections, lack of calibration or an electronic fault. It recommends not deactivating the system permanently and taking the car in for a check if it recurs.[2]
Warnings after replacing the windscreen
RACE explains that the camera must keep the manufacturer's position and angle and that, after the glass is replaced, the garage must check and, where applicable, calibrate the ADAS. The absence of an alert does not guarantee it is correctly adjusted.[3]
Warning lights and messages that come and go
RACE includes among the electrical symptoms warning lights that come on when a unit detects incorrect values, and intermittent faults. It recommends a diagnosis when an electronic warning persists.[1]
What to check first
- Note the exact message, when it appears (rain, cold, at start-up, after a bump) and whether it goes away on its own.[1][2]
- Clean the area of the windscreen where the camera is and the exterior sensors, without abrasive products and without touching them; remove mud, ice or snow.[2]
- Check the 12 V battery and clean the terminals if they are sulphated.[1]
- If you have had the windscreen replaced or the car has taken a knock, confirm that the ADAS were calibrated and keep the paperwork.[3]
- Ask for a fault code reading of all the control units and ask about manufacturer updates or campaigns.[1][4]
Can I keep driving?
Urgency: Monitor
RACE recommends not ignoring persistent safety warnings: if they recur, there are error messages or hard braking with no apparent cause, take the car to a garage before carrying on using it as normal. If the message only appears in rain, fog or low sun and then goes away, it is usually a temporary limitation of the system.[1][2]
How much it costs to fix
Indicative prices published by the sources cited; they depend on the car and the garage.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I sometimes get an "assistant not available" message?
RACE explains that cameras and radars can be limited by dirt, ice, rain, fog or low sun, and that the system then warns you or switches off. If it happens in good weather with clean sensors, calibration and connections need checking.[2]
Will a car with ADAS warnings pass the MOT?
RACE says the ITV (the Spanish roadworthiness inspection, similar to the MOT) does not generally check the camera angle, but that a fault warning light or a permanent alert from a safety system can affect the result, and you should not present the car with messages such as "camera not available".[3]
What is phantom braking?
An activation of the automatic emergency braking with no real risk, according to RACE. It is usually related to erroneous sensor readings, dirt, lack of calibration or an electronic fault.[2]
Do the ADAS need recalibrating after a windscreen replacement?
When the manufacturer prescribes it, yes: RACE explains that the camera must recover its position and that the garage must follow the model's procedure, with static or dynamic calibration.[3]
Can the warnings be fixed with a software update?
Sometimes: RACE points out that an update can fix errors in sensors and ADAS assistants, for €50 to €200 in Spain at a garage with diagnostic equipment, and that manufacturer campaigns must be carried out at an official or authorised garage.[4]
