Hi guys,Can anyone tell me where the pdc module is located.I've had a problem with pdc on front for a week now, cleaned sensors front and back still playin up,got a new module off ebay so will try it before I take it somewhere.Don't want to spend big money if It's just a plug in replacement as I know it's a bumper off job if it's one of the sensors. Black on black 55 reg supercharged grill-vents black badges and 20" supercharged alloys with hankook tyres. |

It's on the LH rear quarters of the car, behind the side trim panel in the trunk/boot. It's a small rectangular module attached to the frame with 2 retaining screws and with 3 electrical connectors on the bottom, should be in plain sight when you remove the trim panel. It's one of the few electronic modules in the car that should not require software uploads, diagnostics, programming and exorcisms after you hook it up, it should be "plug and play"... Good luck, hope that's your problem! The "good" module (an early version on MY05s and some 06s had software that would cause the sensors to activate every time speed would fall under 10mph, causing a ton of false alarms at stoplights and intersections) should have part # YWC500550 stamped on it. |

Hey Bobby, I think that removing the side trim panel is more involving than replacing that module... Do you have directions for that? |

Yes, umbertob, quite a bit of work involved!

Bummer. If it makes you feel any better, I am having the same problem with one of my rear PDC sensors, although I know exactly why it's starting to act up - it's my fault for removing the tips off my Overfinch exhaust when I go off-roading and then being too lazy to put them back on when I get back. The hot gases from the shortened exhaust ends are causing the two sensors in their proximity to slowly "melt" (as well as a portion of the lower bumper...) |

Hey umbertob, was the directions to remove the side panel satisfactory? Malaysia Boleh!
