Locating the Forward Collision Warning Sensor on a Honda Accord Windshield
In this video, we will show you how to locate the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) sensor on a Honda Accord windshield part number FW04794. This information is important when you are looking to replace your windshield as the sensor needs to be properly aligned and calibrated after installation.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a driver assistance technology found in some Honda Accords that uses sensors to detect when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle or obstacle too quickly. If the system determines a potential collision is imminent, it will issue an audible and visual warning to alert the driver to take action to avoid the collision. Some systems may also include Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) which can automatically apply the brakes to slow or stop the vehicle if the driver does not take action to avoid the collision.
