I have a Ford fiesta titanium x 2016 and Everytime I turn on the car this message pops up. Sadly I have looked it up but not found too much information about it. I have already checked the battery which is perfectly fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That feature was not available in North America. But I would recommend that you trace the circuit and check the quality of the negative earth/ground connection.

Also notice the GPS system is not working - GPS

So "Active City Stop"...

In the UK, Ford's Active City Stop is a driver-assist technology designed to help prevent or mitigate low-speed collisions in slow-moving traffic by automatically applying the brakes when it detects a potential collision.
Tells me one, if not several, sensors in the bumpers are not working so the system shuts down, or it otherwise has a fault so it is not enabled.

They can look like this...

Mount in holes and are clipped onto the holder

Since GPS is not working - it may mean a major electrical fault is at play here...check your fuses - and I mean all of them.

The Owners Manual might be able to provide some direction as to where those Fuses are located.

Considering how delicate these are, inspect and investigate your cars exterior for damages - make sure you didn't get hit when you were parked somewhere and these sensors got damaged.

Hi!

My apologies for the late reply.

I have checked, cleaned and tested all of the sensors as well as replaced a good chunk of the fuses including the active city stop one with brand new fueses, and sadly it has not been fixed :(
The only other thing I can add to this is my car was stolen then recovered before I bought it, this sadly means that my keys are not orignal. as they are not the orignal admin keys, my key does not work either which seems to have a setting for active city stop.

I am waiting on a OBD2 scanner which should be coming soon and I hope to reset mykey though forscan


Do you think, as my car was stolen in the past as well as the keys notbeing orignal that it could casue active city stop to not work?


Thanks :)
