DaveHerns Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 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 bumpersDo 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 ? Quote

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 ? Quote

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. Quote
coastline taxis Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Hi Exactly what does the warning message say and do you get any other warning lights on Quote

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? Quote
DaveHerns Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 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 outThink I'll try to find someone who can interrogate the system Quote

Bottom row, 3rd from left and next to the Hazzard switch. Quote
