Default Steering Wheel Sensor Issue...

Is anyone else getting a pop-up on the dash/productivity screen saying "Keep hand on the steering wheel" even if your hand is on it? I'm getting this message on pretty much every drive. Any known ways of disabling that sensor?

I assume your equipped with the Lane Keeping System. Try turning it off.
This is from page 222 of the owners manual.


When Aid mode is on and the system
detects no steering activity for a short
period, the system will alert you to put your
hands on the steering wheel. The system
may detect a light grip or touch on the
steering wheel as hands off driving.


Hope this helps.

Mine does it also. I assumed it was my driving with one finger on the bottom of the wheel.
My driving critique(r) of 44 years never commented, so I know I was in my lane.

Your truck needs to go to thr dealer to have the adaptive cruise control module leveled if you lift or level, this will be at your cost.

It gets annoying.

I was in my lane, driving on straight highways tonight. The thing would go off repeatedly for fairly king stretches.

The OK button helps sometimes, but other times has no effect. The alarm is more distracting than it is beneficial.
