Exterior Reversing sensor problem

mac · 27th May 2007, 09:39

I know it's gonna have to go back to be looked at, I just wondered if anyone else has come across this?
When reversing, all of a sudden the beeper will do the steady beep - like someone's walked behind the car - which has jumped me a couple of times. This has happened the last two or three days and now appears to be an intermittent long beep.
I've checked the actual sensors in case there's something stuck on any of them and they're fine. So I'm now assuming it's a wiring fault.
Annoying though.

My Honda sensors were faulty from day one. The Dealer replaced them under warranty. The new ones work perfectly.

Its probably a wiring fault, mine did that but it was obvious that they were broken as one of the sensors had popped inside (broken bracket apparently)

I wouldnt rely on them if I were you for parking close to anything just in case, bloody annoying as you say

instead of the sensors beeping why ,cant the sensors be standard on the front and back and on the dash it would display in cm or inches how much room you actually have

Are they offical honda sensors? If so, get them to replace them...

If not you need to isolate the faulty sensor. I had this with some I fitted, It was a faulty sensor which I replaced. No problem now
