This car is beginning to drive me nuts :evil: :evil:
Its booked in for a full diagnostic at the main dealer on monday to clarify the problem with the ECU on the suspension for the warranty company, they don't believe my Indy :headbang:

Anyway now my PDC system has gone off altogether.
When i put the X into reverse I get 1 short tone then nothing except the light flashing on the switch. Neither of the front or rear sensors appear to be working.
I have listened to them all individually and they all appear to click apart from 1 front 1 which does click but not as loud as the rest.
Would 1 sensor being U/S cause the rest of the system to fail ???

same thing happened to me in the last cold snap.
lost warning bleeps and just had a flashing light on the pdc switch.
my scanner detected front acoustic generator error but it was too cold to remove bumper and have a look.
anyway, after a week and back into warmer weather, it just fixed itself and has been normal since!
