Extrovert Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hi All I gave my car to a body shop to repaor passenger side rear quarter panel and respray passenger side doors. Picked up the car today without realising. Parking sensors front and rear both are not working. I text him to ask if he has unplugged any connectors and he said he didn't unplug anything. Obd2 adaptor doesn't show any parking sensors related errors. Ford test menu in dash shows DTC # 01 160782 and DTC # 02 40168. These two codes were shown prior to the respray but after using obd2 adaptor they use to disappear but not disappearing now. In the right hand side rear luggage compartment I see a connector dangling and not connected to anything. The wires are Grey with violet stripes. Could this be the cause? Picture attached. When I put the car in reverse gear, light with p button on dash blinks 6 times then stops. Could anyone suggest what to do please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishca Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hello. I am having the same problem with my s-max. Have the same vireing dangeling. So i am not sure if that has got anything to do with the problem. I got the problem fixed by disconnecting the battery, for several hours or possibly over night. I dont know if the inbord computer resets it self, but after that it was in working order again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extrovert Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Before I attempted above. I checked the driver side sensor in the front bumper. It was not connected. Connected it all up and running now. Once again thanks to Ian who is a valued member of the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Lambert Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I have a 06 plate Ford Smax with tow bar. The rear parking sensor is not working as when you engage reverse there is no beep. There is no switch on the dashboard to switch on or off. Is it a faulty sensor / switch or is there not a reverse sensor fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tudders Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Ive checked my fuse box in luggage compartment left handside it states fb8 is parking aid fuse but not in the slot would this stop the parking sensor from working before i start to dig deeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
