nope you need just switch on ignition put in to reverse and check by finger every sensor you should fill slightly tingels (sorry),or just put your ear very very close to sensor and you will be heard clicking nose . where no noise that sensor dead .Good luck.

Default rear parking sensors

Help Please if one sensor is not working would that stop other 3 from working is it unlikely all 4 to stop working at same time after checking wiring I found the brown wire had rubbed through going to sensors on metal support bracket I repaired this but still did not work I tried another ecu still didn't work had all sensors out and cleaned them and checked wiring and connections all good
it is difficult to determine if there is any noise or tingles coming from sensors I cant hear or feel anything to suggest they are working Would the fact I tow a car trailer sometimes reversing a lot which made sensors work a lot cause any harm to sensors Does Any body Have Any Sensors For SALE Car is silver

Hi Allan
Try and get your car on a T4 which would be able to pinpoint the problem for you, such as these below.

1

2

3

4

The T4 is pointing to rear right centre sensor is at fault.

PS drop Mickyboy a PM he maybe able to sort you out with some good used sensors, for a minimal outlay.

Ok if one sensor out then all stop working in my one was gone outer rear left , to get another sensor not big deal , and if your bumper off then all what you need it is one more working sensor and then just swap him between

You can get second hand sensors on eBay.

If you can't get to a T4, then TOAF will do the job.
