Pdc

[beemerbabe]

Hello everyone,

the PDC in my x5 no longer works. When i back up...it makes a 3 second beep sound and then the light on the pdc button just flashes. Did I accidentally turned it off or something? anyone have an answer to this annoying problem? Thanks in advance

maybe one of your sensors got disconnected or busted
check each one, turn pdc on first, then put your ear next to each one and your hand in the way, you should hear it buzz if it works, then go from there

check fuse number 27

You'll need to pop the sensor out of the bumper and make sure the connector is securely fastened to the PDC sensor. If not, then you'll need a multimeter to check the wiring for continuity between the sensors.

The PDC uses multiple circuts...is there anything else in the car that is not working?

Mine wasn't working as will so I did that you said and one sensor on the front and one on the back are not working (no buzzzz sound). So can you fix it without removing bumers (I got aerokit)?

could a malfunction to one or two PDC sensors trip all of them to go out.. ive checked my fuse and its okay

if one is bad, whole system won't work.

and there is no way to check which one specifically does not work..without removing the bumpers and checkin out each connector
