Accident detected message

ted99 · 08-06-2023, 09:20 AM

I drove over one of those concrete strips at the end of parking spaces and a big bump happened when the front came back to earth after I got over (less than 3 MPH). No visible damage, but now I've got a message each time I start the car "accident detected--go to the dealer". Anyone know how to clear this message?

Turn the car off and leave it for 10 minutes. It should be gone after that. That msg came on my car once on some bad roads and after i left it for 10 mins, it was gone.

Why did you drive over that? Sorry, I have to ask.

It was in a strange place resembling a traffic lane and I was looking in a different place in the parking lot for the handicap spot.
