You could try unplugging the module to see if that resets it. If not then you could either have a harness problem or a sensor problem.

Here's a picture showing you where the module is located.

The unit would sound a long beep and the lights would flash on the PDC button. The unit was working before I sent it in to the Stealers for a rock chipped windsheild replacement and now it doesn't work.

The long beep would come from the rear speaker, hope that helps!

Very odd works intermitantly, then beeps once long and then blinks continually? Anyone else experience this?

I went through exactly the same thing a few months ago, I tried all sorts and kept thinking I`d cured it until the next time the long bleep came.

In the end I screwed down the number plates (license plates) rear and front and that sorted it. It seems the license plate was causing the sensors to give a fault somehow (prob obstructing one of the ultrasonic beams?). Anyway it`s been fine for months now.

Just check all the sensors, make sure there`s no dirt stuck in the little grooves, make sure nothing is loose around them, make sure your license plates arent sticking out a few mm more than they need to etc. If not, then you`ll have to take it back to the stealer and tell them it was fine before they got their hands on it.

Even stranger now
 
The thing is working and the long beep and lights are no longer there????????? Just the solid greeen light and the unit detecting objects again, very very strange!

There could have been a light film of road grime on the sensor possibly....
