I got this message after my car was parked up for 2 weeks while i was in hospital. It worked fine before that.
I have now run vida diagnostics which shows sensor 4 low, although i cant hear any of the sensors "ticking". The plan is to purchase a genuine Volvo sensor as some research shows cheaper versions don't always work. According to Haynes the bumper removal is easy, Is it?? I guess i have no other way of getting at it with a full removal? Do i need a new retainer or just the sensor and is it best to paint the sensor before fitting or will touch up paint after be ok?. Any comments/help will be taken on board. Malc

I replaced one of the rear sensors on my car with one from eBay (£8) three years ago, still going strong.
Rear bumper removal is straight forward, just be careful when you do remove it as it has a tendency to pivot upwards which can lead to scratched paintwork. I didn't need a new retainer and I would advise painting your replacement before fitment. |

I had to use Volvo Vida/Dice software which showed number 4 signal low.
However if you buy the ebay sensors at £10 appx each you may be better to change all 4 as opposed to a genuine Volvo one at £68. That way if you don't have access to the Volvo software you save on paying a garage to diagnose it, that's assuming it a sensor rather than a wiring or module fault.

Update.
In the end i fitted a £10 sensor from the bay which has been working fine. A big saving on the Volvo price. Also only needed to pull back one side of the bumper to gain access to number 4 sensor. ![]()
