Parking sensors being a PITA

As I had to remove the front bumper to replace the intercooler thought I'd replace the faulty sensor, had them switched of as they beeped every time I started the car Censored anyway after replacing it and enabling them I'm getting this error


so what could be causing it

You say

they bleeped every time you started the car was this after engaging the gears either first or reverse? Reason I ask is aren't they supposed to do that?

Mine are being a pain as well got a continual bleep when put in reverse and flashing light and then they just started working again Big Cry I think its a break in the loom affected by damp but booked in to dealers. Maybe your issue is loom related they are notorious for issues and breaks

I had a similar issue after replacing my ac condenser, after removing the bumper. It turned out to be the cable going into the back of the PDC loom connector. I had put strain on the connector and the wire had slightly pulled out of the back of the connector (only by approx 2mm). I just applied pressure and forced the wire back into the connector. I never had another issue with it, i sold it 14month later without an issue. MY12 RRS HSE

Seems like your test results are telling you the fault - that the earth side of the circuit is foobarred. I wonder if its possible to temporarily connect a wire between the earth side of the sensor loom and a suitable alternative earth just to prove that it is the earth wire and then you can start to search for, and narrow down, where the break actually is. Robin

Looking at the fault it's saying circuit short to ground- That means it will be a chafed wire somewhere rubbing against the body All in my opinion of course but thats wehere I would be looking -



Good luck

i agree could be the wires shorted to gether or just the + against ground - I wouldnt be put off fixing it , If you have a cheap multimeter it will help you trace the fault.
Most likely you will find the fault in a obvious place like tight corner or maybe where the bumper has been fixed before .
The PDC loom must plug into the car somewhere close to the bumper , Unplug it from the car and work forwards - I am almost certain the fault will be forward of the connector towards the bumper.
Good Luck

True It's just that I don't have a problem with mechanical repairs but electronics are a dark art to me, anyway according to the passenger fuse layout fuse No 36 protects the Park Distance Control and Tyre Pressure Monitoring system so I can pull that and isolate that circuit as I don't have TPM. If it ain't broken down it soon will
