PDC problem
 
1 Attachment(s)
hello,

yesterday the pdc was dead!

then short after it worked again in one hour " pdc does not work"!!

i inspect visually yhe sensors and found one ....that looks like it is not correclty fitted in the bumper...

could this be?

what symptoms are you getting? is it a continuous beep or nothing at all. I had a complete failure about a month ago due to snow over the sensor - clearly the signal was being reflected directly in. Occasionally I have had the continuous beep due to a mucky sensor - but when you get that you can tell what sensor is giving the problem, clean it up and it works again. From your picture your car is quite dirty at the moment, so give it a good clean and see if the problem persists!

Hi,

well my car is not that dirty how it looks ...
the one in the foto i fix....now it stays in position...
but again 2-3 times today "pdc problem"
then it works again....
but in the front on the drivers side and the one next to it...seem to beep altough there is nothing in front of it....there was some water but i cleaned it away.....

i do not know what to think....they seem all to work fine...then suddenly not anymore...

curious...

bye

I've had that where the water seems to rest around the sensor. Cleared it out and ithe beeping stopped. They seem really sensitive to having anything near them. Water/Ice especially.

hi pete,

well yes that seems to be the problem...especially the two under the motor in tne front center....
but also the one on the drivers side.....but it is kinda weird...because this days we have a bit of better weather....+ 3 degrees....
during the last month i had a lot of snow, ice, water and -25 sometimes!
and then it was only the annoying beeeep in front but no display warning "pdc problem"

but u are right....because of the water....the system sees it like a failure and shutts it down....

otherwise it would not work again!
or a sennsor is soon before his last days?

byee
