V70: General Park assist service required

[Gazdkw]

Iv just managed to scan my car with the same fault. Says "front left inner sensor"

Still unsure exactly which sensor that is. Is it front left as you are looking at the car or front left as you are sitting in the car?

"my car"?

See my previous posting.

Haha yeh good point.

How do you actually do it?

My car is listed In the "about me" section

If you're having trouble finding which actual sensor it is you could always put the car into reverse with the engine off, (but with ignition etc on) go behind the car and wave your hand in front of each sensor individually.

When you wave your hand in front of one sensor and you don't hear beeping from the speaker there's your problem sensor !

(Yes you signature now has your car in it ! )

Usually when I get the warning that the park assist needs service, none of the sensors work.

Doing what you have suggested, will that enable all the others except for the faulty one?

Sometimes the system will still work, minus one sensor if it's just one not working but not always the case

Because it's so easy to unplug the sensor, maybe you could unplug the one you think is faulty and rescan the car using vida. If you unplugged the wrong one then vida will show 2 sensors at fault, you then know the other one will be the correct one
