Parking sensors

Post by Rossco0506 » Mon Mar 03, 2014 2:20 pm

My parking sensors have started playing up over the last couple of days. When you put the car into reverse, the sensor beeps differently and the light flashes but it wont beep when you approach objects. Seems to work ok at the front when parking.

Any ideas what it can be or how to fix it???

1. Either one is a dud (you'll know when listening up close (really close) 2 inches maybe, if they click they're fine, if one or more of them do not click then get a replacement)
2. Wiring is short circuited
3. PDC module is "dead"

Get the system tested first, saves you a lot of trouble and looking for the needle in the haystack ...

P.S. Got problems with mine as well, but i think it's the module....
If module is not working properly anymore, ebay is the WAY !
