How To Diagnose your faulty parking sensors!

  • Follow these steps to diagnose your faulty parking sensors on a VW car. My screen in the Volkswagen caddy was showing a message saying the OPS (Optical Parking System) wasn't working. To know which sensor doesn't work, insert the key into ignition and switch to position 2 (do not start the car!) then put the car into reverse. Step out of the car and go to the parking sensors and touch each one individually and see which one is making a "clicking" noise. If it is making a noise then you know it's working.
    This also works for other makes or car.

    Perfect. Thank you for this video. The cable to one of sensors was loose. Plugged it in properly and now all working. This has saved me a bill from the local garage.

    Did you leave the car in reverse first before you went to hear the clicking or was it in neutral and engine running

      Oh weird, annoying that clicking doesn't work. I did actually find that some days I couldn't hear the clicking. Have you fixed it?

    • @1987tjscott
      @1987tjscott Рік тому +1

      Nope, can't hear anything from any sensor even on my golf. I've even tried vagcom and says low voltage I believe but it doesn't say which one it is specifically, if that's the fault.
