I currently have a parking aid malfunction warning with a B129D-96 code in forscan. I cleaned the sensor and I still have the error so I probably have to replace the sensor.

    Changing the sensor is the easy part.  Getting access to it is more difficult.  Generally you'll need to remove either a headlight or the grill, or an undertray or worst case scenario the full bumper.

    It's the far right sensor that failed. Do you think I can get enough room by removing just the headlight?
