Parking sensors fault

[Tim Green]

Recently, the left side front sensors show a completely lit bar (with beeping) nearly all the time when stationary, so I have to switch the system off. Does anyone know a way to check each sensor and what is required to remove and replace them?
Any help gratefully received. Thanks.TG

First make sure you don't have any muck (or a fly) stuck to one of the sensors - I've had this a couple of times.

I will put the details up later, I feel sure that the bumper has to come off, if the sensors have been painted at some point in time, that can do it. the other remedy is there are 3 grades of sensor, is to fit a lower output one or two on the ends

I will give them a good wash to see whether that makes any difference. It seems as though one (or more than one) of the units is giving a continuous full output. I suppose there could be a faulty connector or something? TG

Have them tested with Sar D, if they are faulty then replace them, but the distance can be adjusted on SD

We have been here before, they are not adjustable on STAR the fix is to fit a lower output sensor.

You have posted this before eric and it caused me much work looking it up.

For a change, you start looking things up rather than make me prove you wrong, it is obvious that you have never had this fault as you would know what the mods are. This in number ! since your new pledge

OOps, sorry, didn't mean to cause disharmony in the expert panel
The systems has been working fine until very recently, so that's about a year sinsce i got the car, so it's not an adjustment issue. It sounds as though a visit to M-B oxford is likely, at huge expense! TG
