One of the PDC sensors is not connected properly.Check your connections.

clean the sensores from any debris if so and make sure all are connected properly.

I had the same PDC problem. Manual indicated it was a malfunction and the dealer had it in to fix it.

I had this problem before and a connecter to one of the sensors was loose. Once it was plugged back in everything was normal.

i checked all my sensors on the outside and cleaned them all off but the problem is still there. i read an article on how to get to the pdc unit and but when i came to do it i was rushed for time as i was due back in work and it seemed a bigger job than 1st thought .as it is under where the spare wheel goes.also im a bit confused on how to get to the connecters, do you have to take the bumpres off or do the pull out????????????

Unfortunately you have to remove the bumpers(see the articles on thís site)to access yõur PDC connectors from the inside of the bumper.DONT attempt to pry them out from the outside (without removing the bumper) as you will brake them!!!!
Check your PDC module unit first,the problem may be there!
