PDC Sensors use echo location technology, so you can hear a clicking sound from working ones, the sensor that does not emit a clicking noise is the faulty one, saves swapping them..

Desperately looking forward to finding out how to remove the sensors.. I have one as well. Please can someone update on how to remove a PDC sensor in the rear, as I only just got the car 2 days ago and dont want to drive in case i hit something, feels like I am driving bigfoot!

from what i remember when i installed my mufflers,
they just pop into place, have two clips, they are not very sturdy, so i'd be very careful when removing/installing them, i wouldn't feel comfortable with removing and installing them a lot of times, if you know what i mean.
i don't remember if you can access them by not removing the bumper cover, since i had to remove it anyway in my proccess of installing mufflers. if you do need to remove it, it's pretty easy, there's a diy on this site, if you don't need to remove it then it's just the rear difusser that you need to drop down.
hope this helps, i just don't remember on top of my head atm lol
