Parking sensor fault
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2024 5:34 pm
I’ve previously had a parking sensor replaced under warranty, but the problem has arisen again, this time out of warranty.
I’ve got a message saying that the parking sensors in my 21 z4 are dirty and need cleaning - they don’t need cleaning! Sadly, when one sensor fails, the whole system shuts down and it’s impossible to identify which sensor is faulty. If I could identify the faulty sensor, it’s a £40 DIY fix - although lengthy due to potentially the rear bumper being removed.
Does anyone know if a fault code reader such as the Foxwell NT530 will be able to identify the erroneous sensor? Buying a scanner and a new sensor is still about half of what BMW want to do the job!
