P2583 on Mercedes-Benz
Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor Single Sensor or Center
P2583 on Mercedes-Benz vehicles indicates cruise control front distance range sensor single sensor or center. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Mercedes-Benz model — most commonly on GLE. This code sets when the powertrain/cruise control module detects a fault or implausible signal from the front distance range sensor used by the adaptive cruise control (ACC) system. This sensor (radar or laser) measures the distance and relative speed of the vehicle ahead so the system can maintain a set following gap. When the fault is present, adaptive cruise control is typically disabled and a warning lamp is displayed.
Common Causes of P2583
- •Front distance/range sensor obstructed by dirt, snow, ice, mud, or debris on the sensor face or grille
- •Misaligned front sensor (often after a collision, bumper repair, or grille work) requiring recalibration
- •Faulty or internally failed front distance range (ACC radar/laser) sensor
- •Damaged wiring, connector corrosion, or poor connection to the sensor circuit
- •Software/calibration fault or low system voltage affecting the ACC module
- •Aftermarket bumper, grille emblem, or accessories blocking the sensor field of view
P2583 on Mercedes-Benz by Model
Mercedes-Benz GLE(1 issue)
- Front Radar Sensor Fault (P2583) Disabling Distronic and Active Brake Assist2020-2024
On the W167 GLE (2020-2024), the front radar sensor behind the grille that feeds Distronic adaptive cruise control, Active Brake Assist and PRE-SAFE frequently faults, throwing 'Pre-Safe Functions Currently Limited' and disabling those safety systems. Code P2583 indicates the front radar is offline. Common causes are a dirty or snow/ice-blocked sensor, sensor misalignment after minor front-end impacts, and wiring/connector corrosion in the harness (W167 harness part A1675401443) near the right front bumper; a fault in the 48V system can also cascade into ADAS errors. The car remains drivable but loses automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise.
