Lyts1985 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Hi guys! Recently bought a 2011 S-Max, 2.0 diesel, 140bhp. The front parking sensors weren't working and I narrowed it down to the wiring loom. So today I pulled the bumper off and changed the loom, put it all back together, and everything seems to be working fine. That said, when I switch the engine off now after about 10 seconds i can hear 6 short beeps. Once it's done that it makes 6 clicks. The sounds seem to come from the front bumper area. Before taking the bumper off I noticed it used to make a slightly longer beep (which I assumed was normal) but this has been replaced with this series of beeps. Any ideas what I might have done to cause this or what the beeping may be? I'm certain I reconnected everything but if someone can tell me what might be causing this series of beeps (or even the single beep before) it gives me a starter for 10. Thanks all!

unofix Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Use FORScan on a laptop and you will be able to read the error codes for the parking sensors. The series of beeps you here is a basic code to warn of an error with the system. Possibly one of the sensors is not working.

Lyts1985 Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 Thanks Unofix. The beeping and clicks appear to be coming from the engine bay though, and replacing the wiring loom for the sensors fixed the issue with them. I do have Forscan, will give it a whirl and see if any errors come up, but if not do we think it's safe to ignore these beeps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
