You have a dead sensor, park and press the PDc button then go around to each sensor and listen for clicking. If one isn't clicking its dead

It will be solid green when the system is on. It doesn't do the long beep and the button flashes when you put it in R?

If it doesn't than the sensors are fine, are you sure they are all clean? Sometimes wax buildup believe it or not makes them give off false positives

I've found my sensors when the car is warming up pick up a lot of false positives in the rear probably from more exhaust gases at the rear when cold.

Usually it's fine and no false positives when the car is warm

I'd say it operates normally then as mine gives off false readings occasionally too.
