Citroen C8 Rear Parking Sensor Fault (LEXIA NEEDED)

Post by brmartyn »

Hi everyone, it's been some time since I've been on the forum I hope you are all well. I've recently purchased a 2006 C8 Exclusive (very nice car & very pleased with my purchase). The car did come with a parking sensor fault, when put in reverse an error displays saying 'rear parking assistance not working' I'm not sure if it could be as simple as a lose wire somewhere or even one of the sensors may need replacing. Does anybody know where the parking sensor ECU is located? first port of call would be to check for any lose wiring from this. Thanks in advance. Brady.

Hi Brady
Not sure where ECU would be on C8 but if you get it hooked up to a lexia it will tell you exactly which sensors aren't working or whether it's an open circuit (i.e - wiring fault).
Will probably be much quicker than trying to trace it yourself.
Someone on here who is closer to you than me might be able to help with lexia.
Good luck.
