I'm thinking if I buy a new one & go through em one by one till I get to the fubared one will it solve it? or will the code still be displayed till the diagnostic resets it???
-
Only buy one and swap out one. If it doesn't solve it try the next one etc, etc...
Can't see there being eight completely different parking sensors on the car ::)
-
On the superlative Omega ... there is a "fuse" like item in the wiring that when unplugged places the system into self-test mode, this then tells you exactly which sensors work and which ones have faults ... not bad for a 15 year old system ... :) .. perhaps your newer automobile has a similar device ?? :)
-
If not, almost all working reversing sensors tic when touched lightly.
No ticyo, no workyo.

Mine are currently silent when reversing!

The one in the head lining that transmits the beeps from the park pilot ecu

Personally I wonder if it would be wired to the drivers door tweeter. Possibly at the Bose amp?
Assuming Bose reads the signal?
-
What model is your Omega? Maybe someone has retro fitted an Elite bumper :-\
-
Parking by touch is my speciality. Further investigation is obviously required. Thanks for your comments.
-
Doesn't answer the question though... what model is the Omega :-\
-
2002 3.2 Elite Auto saloon?
-
Ah gotcha :y the reason for asking, is that factory installs are always in the same place, aftermarket ones could br anywhere ::)
The gubbins lives in the boot, just above the nearside wheel arch :y
Speaker cable runs up the C pillar and the speaker sits on the headlining about six inches back from the rear left hand corner of the sunroof :y
Have a rummage through the Electrical Help section, someone had the same problem just before Christmas... Shackeng or Entwood iirc :y
-
As Chris says, working parking sensors will have a faint ticking sound coming from them when they are activated. Activate the sensors, and listen to each in turn...whichever one is silent is the dead one.
-
remove the test resistor fromm the small plug by the rear left light cluster .. looks like a stanadrd fuse but has a resistor instead. Then select ignition on/reverse .. the system is now in self test mode and the bleeps will tell you which sensor has failed .. :)

Sorry ::)
Got muddled by...

Jasons issue is a duff sensor, test as per Chris or Entwoods method :y
Lagondanets issue is either a duff speaker or knackered control box/wiring :y
-
Only bleeps it the speaker works... :y
very true ... :)
-
Thanks. I'll check.
