Have you removed the airbox and closely inspected the loom that sits right below it? |

Hi, yes sorry, I posted the solution on a different thread. In the beginning, one sensor was reading as faulty using the fault reader, so I changed it but did not cure the problem. It turns out that one of the other sensors was breaking down under increased voltage. Stupidly I discounted this possibility because the first sensor read faulty but all the others seemed normal. I only found it because I had tried everything else. So changed the 3 remaining sensors one at a time.

Thanks for the reply, my sensors stopped beeping/working with just the flashing light on the button above the radio, I put a reader on and it showed front right inner sensor not working, I replaced that sensor and now when I select reverse it's just a constant beep, I plugged the reader in again and deleted the old code, read it again and there's no fault codes showing, I'm in the middle of doing a hard reset now to see if that might help, really no clue what to do next if the reset doesn't work. |

The original symptom you had points to the very common front sensor cable loom chaffing and water ingress. It could well be that when you changed the faulty sensor, your flexed the faulty cable causing the indication to change. I would remove the bumper and check the cable for signs of damage. |

If you find any signs of damage. The water gets inside the insulation and corrodes the wire, making it very difficult to repair. Also difficult to trace all the breaks caused. I would advise buying a used loom off eBay. They usually come with a set of sensors fitted. Which is handy as they fit the rear as well. Let me know how you get on. |
