Hi guys.Please see my video below, the car is beeping at the rear with no obstacles in the way, but only when the engine is running.

One of your sensors must be bad or obstructed......I was told that you can turn on ignition (car not running) put tranny in reverse and go to back/front and put your hand over each sensor....if you hear a low pitched clicking then its working fine.....never tried it tho...

Thanks for the replies guys.
Two of the sensors are new, eBay jobbies but never had issues with them before and been using them for years across a few cars.
I'm going to try swapping some of the fronts to the rear to see if I can isolate the problem as I have no problems with the fronts.
No LEDs Timm, just Orion V2 angel eyes in the front which have been there 7-8 years with no problems.
I do remember having sh1tty ballast based angel eyes before them which did cause PDC errors alright but never had any problem with these before.
Well, found the cause.
I switched all sensors from the back to the front and voila, the problem is now at the front.
In a process of elimination, the two brand new eBay senors are causing grief. Both came from the one UK seller. But i had purchased a third from another UK seller and its also giving grief.
So all three senors are causing errors.
Timm I don't suppose you'd have an old working sensor kicking around you could send me in a packet for a few quid? I only need one.
This is the last issue with the car to be sorted before I stick it up for sale as a perfect example.
Thanks.
I've got no E38 bits left at all - it's all E31 and E64 stuff these days!
