In answer to your other Post, FORScan will be able to show you whether the BCM thinks the Bonnet is open or closed.

Thanks Tizer. Strangely not. The parking sensor codes are due to the previous owner having not repair the damage to the front bumper due to a small collision. The supplementary ptc heater code im not concerned about. The rear wiper relay issue i assume is due to water ingress in the back im currently at war with adding waterproof sealant to any panel joint I can locate.

It won't show up as a fault, you need to look at Live Data and if it is intermittent then monitor it while driving.

See this if you are unsure of how to do it.

Thanks, I belive i know exactly your train of thought on the subject. But I think It simply happens so intermittently to warrant capturing live data on the sensor to be of any use as the MFD instrument cluster makes me fully aware with red ! Mark and audible warning the moment the error occurs. (Usually a bump in the road).

Also I've been using Forscan for android long enough to remember when key programming was a feature but later taken away hehe.
