C1710 — Right Rear Centre Sensor Circuit Fault

System: Chassis  |  Type: Manufacturer-Specific  |  Make: Ford

About C1710

C1710 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Ford vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1710 is stored, the module has detected a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1710 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

DTC C1710 relates to the right rear centre ultrasonic sensor of the parking aid (reverse sensing) system. Unlike a hard circuit failure, this code is set when the Parking Aid Module (PAM) receives a response from the sensor but the signal is invalid, erratic, or outside expected parameters, indicating the sensor cannot reliably transmit or receive its ultrasonic pulses. The module evaluates each sensor during the self test that runs when reverse is selected and flags this fault when the right rear centre sensor output is degraded. When the code is set the parking aid system is usually disabled...
