Hi All,

I've got a 2007 civic sport (diesel) and i'm having an issue with the parking sensor's.

Basically whenever i put the car into reverse, i now get a constant low pitched beep noise which doesn't stop until i take it out of reverve.

I've read somewhere that this means there is a fault with the parking sensors. To be honest I never really used the parking sensors much so don't want to pay £££ to get them fixed but the constant beep is driving me insane. Is there any way to stop it ?

When replying please consider the fact that I am very non-technical when it comes to cars

There's probably a fuse somewhere, I have no manual so can't comment any further on that. Otherwise attack the source and disconnect the beeper located in the boot.

My beeper is located above the brake panel on the back of the plastic trim :-S

I've seen them in a few places now. mine is on the plastic just under where the parcel shelf slots in. Mine beeps like that if i start the car when in reverse.

These beeper locations sound familiar.

My 07 had the beeper located somewhere around the dash area. Problem was that I reckon it was tuned to be in the boot as it used to blast your eardrums out.

Some dealer fit's just don't have a clue.

Is there any way to reset the parking sensors or anything ? I've heard there is a control module somewhere, where is that located ?

In the boot under the right hand side trim

Assuming you have the factory fit ones presumably ?

Third party ones it could be anywhere !

check the parking sensors, I had this when wax or dirty sticks on it, especially inside the round of sensor(s). If it is, just clean it.

Thanks all, i'll have a look at the weekend. Yes they are the factory fitted ones by the way
