C1741 — Right Front Centre Sensor Circuit Fault

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

About C1741

C1741 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 C1741 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.

C1741 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

The front parking aid system uses ultrasonic sensors mounted in the front bumper to detect obstacles during low speed manoeuvring, with each sensor circuit monitored by the Parking Aid Module (PAM). DTC C1741 is set when the module detects an open circuit, a short circuit, or an implausible response on the right front centre sensor circuit. Each sensor transmits an ultrasonic pulse and listens for the returning echo, and the module calculates obstacle distance from the echo delay, so any wiring or sensor fault on this circuit prevents reliable distance measurement at that corner.
