W211 Parktronic no voltage to the sensors

[yinujim]

Hi guys,

My Parktronic was working before but was fiddling around swapping a front sensor and now when I turn the ignition on, the lights on the display light up then switch off. The Parktronic button is not off but when I select reverse or drive no sound or lights appear on the display. When I read the voltages on Icarsoft it says Sensor voltage is 0V. I'm wondering if I've fried the Parktronic module?

Thanks

It magically works again guys.

Not surprised.
The parktronic system is cr4p as far as I'm concerned and as temperamental as hell. Mine sometimes errors, sometimes doesn't. I now habitually turn it off automatically before selecting D or R.

Agree. On my '03 211 it's wildly pessimistic and detects ghosts, on my '06 209 it practices drunken kungfu. I miss solid rubber bumpers.
