Take all the sensors out, give them a good clean, and clean the contacts and plugs with and electrical cleaner. Then replace and try again. If this does not help then one/some of the sensors have gone faulty.

you probably have a faulty sensor. i had this happen to me and the dealer replaced the sensor and the rear pdc speaker. if you're still under warranty, just take it to the dealer.

That why I suggested a clean of the sensors and terminals as it could just be moisture or dirt. Good to hear its all working again!!

I took mine out by hand. They are not held in too tight. I reached up under the bumper behind the sensor and slowly pushed it out. Then unlug it and cleaned it up.!!
