Does anybody know what this plug..The one not plugged in. It was behind the spare wheel.


Sorry about size..Haven't got a clue how to make it smaller.

Parkpilot main loom plug, includes fuse wiring, earth, speaker, reverse connection for switched 12v and permanent 12v... presumably disconnected as a VX fix

Tother is most(all) of the sensor wiring

Thanks Al. I have just plugged it in and put the car in reverse and I get a constant tone if iam right that means I have a sensor problem.

[05omegav6]

I think so... Entwood did a pretty comprehensive piece on testing them iirc...

Failed sensor or failed ecu - both aren't particularly reliable

Ignotion on engine off.

Select reverse.

Touch a sensor lightly, takes a bit of practice, but you can feel and hear the sensor tick if it's working correctly.

Try all four. No ticking. No worky. But don't discount the loom. (Obviously. )Sometimes the wires break. Especially if Irmscher bumpers weren't fitted correctly, as the foam insert is replaced with a harder material that dosnt lend itself as well to the press in fittings designed to work with Oe polystyrene insert.

At least you have a tone, and a working speaker. So the head lining can stay untouched.

Don't faff about trying to "feel" the sensors .. do it properly like it was designed to be done ... 

Remove the 350 Ohm resistor that suits in the loom by the left hand rear lights then run the test .. get the CORRECT results with ease ..

I was going to say don't dick about with Entwoods daft codes, you don't need them. But there we are. There goes the Raf arrogance again.

All working now.
 Hand cut to ribbons as several of the screws would not come, so had to force hands from the bottom then between the bloody foam and would you belive it the bloody thing will not back on straight now.

By the way touching the sensors worked very well.

Add refitting the bumper to the list

[pauls]

Forgot to ask can I just spray a bit of car paint on the sensor to make it the same colour. I don't want to take it all apart again

Should be ok, but there's a rubber collar between the sensor and the trim bezel, paint might crack over time

What's wrong with using the system's inbuilt diagnostics?

Whatever works for anyone is good enough, but the inbuilt diags will tell you what the ECU thinks is going on.

Nothing. Except one simply doesn't need it. One could ask what's wrong with the built in mk1 finger. But no. We have to be bloody argumentative don't we.

What do you care anyway? You have tech 2.
