rear parking sensor fault!!

[mariosp]

Hello,

I am having an issue with one of the rear parking sensors of my x. When I engage into Reverse gear I get a constant beep from the rear. there is no any Parking Sensor indicator lights up and flashes..

The sensors are clean and don’t appear damaged at all.

Could you please help me solve this issue? Is is a DIY option or it must be done by BMW Technician.

Thanks

Mario.

I wrote about this issue to one of our members, PDC censors have 2 little thin wires inside, and they can be damaged or disconnected, and they can also be easly repaired, to find out which back censor is causing the whole system not to operate, you need to go near each censor, and put your finger very very close to it, and you will feel little sting or feeling on your finger, whichever censor is not giving that feeling thats the one that is damaged, try it

If you start the car and push the button and go out and put your ear up to each sensor. They click. The bad one wont.

I know which one of mine are not working - rear outside edge. Is it possible to get the sensor out without having to take of the entire bumper?

I found out which sensor has the problem! When I clicked on it it fell into the bumber, what I must do now?

[Thom]

You can reach under the rear bumper and touch them and see them. They simply slide into the housing from behind. Two tabs hold them into place. Just put it back into the housing.

Hello
I managed to disconnect and remove the sensor from the bumber.But I lost that plastic housing

I am attaching you the photo! Could you please help to buy online ? sensor or this plastic cover housing....

How I suppose to search? I tried parking sensors BMW x5 at ebay with no results

Thanks a lot

Look here for part# and order from a dealer or online somewhere. I doubt you'll find just the holder on ebay. You can try a search on "PDC" Parking Distance Control. Double-check that its the same for your model.

The #6 and #8 covers are only a couple bucks at the dealer.... cheap cheap. The #5 and #7 adapter pieces are re-used with the new sensor.
