This is the message that came up today to tell me my parking bleepers are not working.

I initially thought front sensors were still working , checked connections to back sensors but nothing works . Reversing lights work .Sometimes the outline of the car comes up ,on the display panel , other times nothing . Sometimes it still bleeps when I engage reverse , other times not .

Sensors are clean and I don't think anyone has hit the bumpers

Do I need to get someone to plug into diagnostic system to tell me which sensor has failed ? Haynes manual says control module is behind RHS loadbay trim but I can't see it .Is this OS or NS ?

Isn't it the box fixed to the rear panel that can be seen when the spare wheel polystyrene is removed.

Hi John .Tne Haynes bible is a bit ambiguous if that's what it is there, but it could well be .I'll check the run of the wiring . The system worked breifly when I started up the car in the garage this AM . The OSF warning didn't display whe I thought it should have .Then the warning message came up Any ideas how to find the faulty component cheaply ?

Sorry I don't. I keep mine switched off most of the time because I have a fixed towbar fitted and if the sensors are switched on, they sound as soon as reverse gear is selected.

What model is your C5? Facelift? Looks to me like Mk 2 is 2004 at the earliest. Is it the later and more powerful 2.0, DW10BTED? 6 speed box? Or is it a 2.2?

 

How do you turn off the sensors?

Parking Assistance System Faulty- is the message I get coming up on the display panel and in the log of faults

This is a 2006 Mk2 Exclusive estate 6 speed manual 2.0 diesel 16 v 138 BHP. There's a button on the fascia to turn the parking bleepers off

 

John Douglas was correct about the location of the module - 2 10mm nuts , 3 multiplugs and it's out

Think I'll try to find someone who can interrogate the system

It's a 2005 model 138 and 6-speed. The sensors turn off with a dashboard switch. Bottom row, 3rd from left and next to the Hazzard switch.

Found an independent garage in Wimbledon who did a diagnostic test for £30 and found a defective sensor ,New sensor will be £64 - amazing - you can buy 2 or 3 sets of sensors on EBay for that price
