Default Pre collision error/no front camera available

My 2020 45oh hays about 500 miles on it. Fantastic car.

Today, While buzzing around town, my pre collision light came on and the mid displayed the message that the front camera was not available. A few minutes later, I pulled into a store parking lot, turned the engine off and turned it back on with all systems normal.

Any one experience this issue? When you read the manual, there are a bunch of scenarios where this system may not operate properly.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Mine's 350 but I've never seen that. I'd say take it to a dealer, there should be a code, they can look it up and figure out what's going on.

Perhaps it was dirty or just a momentary computer glitch. I wouldn't worry about unless it happens again.

Something similar happened to me with wet snow, it accumulated on the front radar/sensor and the message said that the ICS was not available and to clean the front. Did it and everything came back to normal.

Has happened to me several times in wet heavy snow. Nothing to be concerned with in that case.

Took my car to the lexus and the service manager said I had no problems and that the Precollison sensor and camera are very sensitive to moisture on the upper windshield and any kind of dirt, snow etc, like many of you have shared.

They washed my car, cleaned my mats and sent me on my way.

Conclusion is , keep the sensors, cameras, etc clean.
