Pre Collision System Malfunction
I just had my tires changed and the car has been lifted for alignment. Since then the PCS is flashing along with the warning sign is on. nothing related to the radar is working. Has anyone experienced this before?

Nope, not by the dealer. I just found these general guidlines on when to turn off the PCS and I highlighted below what could be the cause of the malfunctioning of the system. let's hope it is a re-setting issue.
a) Make sure to turn the pre-collision system off in the following situations, as it may operate unexpectedly or may not operate when necessary.
a) Make sure to turn the pre-collision system off in the following situations, as it may operate unexpectedly or may not operate when necessary.
- When the vehicle is being towed
- When the vehicle is towing another vehicle
- When transporting the vehicle via truck, boat, train or similar means of transportation
- When the vehicle is raised on a lift with the engine running and the tires are allowed to rotate freely
- When inspecting the vehicle using a drum tester such as a chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester, or when using an on vehicle wheel balancer
- When a strong impact is applied to the front bumper or front grille, due to an accident or other reasons
- If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in an accident or is malfunctioning
- When the vehicle is driven in a sporty manner or off-road
- When the tires are not properly inflated
- When the tires are very worn
- When tires of a size other than specified are installed
- When tire chains are installed
- When a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit is used
- If equipment (snow plow, etc.) that may obstruct the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly or forward recongnition camera is temporarily installed to the vehicle
