Obviously there is an intermittent issue - most likely with one or more of the sensors. A diagnostic with Diagbox will be able to tell you which one(s).

The problem will likely get worse. When the system detects a fault, it shuts the system down until next time you select reverse, where it self-checks and either works or doesn't - repeat....

Yes, putting it in reverse means the parking assistance ECU tests the system - any fault and it shuts off. The sensors are very sensitive, but can also suffer from water ingress running in via the cable into the sensor and causing issues. I had 3 go which had to be replaced on my C5. The relocated the loom so any water picked up ran DOWN the cable and not from above and onto the back of the sensor where it is connected.

Be wary that sensors are different for different vehicles and from different build dates.

If it’s the sensor itself yes, but you really need it diagnosing first so a) you know it is a sensor (it may be the ECU) and b) if it is a sensor, which ones are faulty.

This is gunna be a stupid question but I like asking those. Are the sensors clean before you start and drive off? I've had similar issues were it would detect a raindrop on reverse on start up. So I've shut down, wiped it, started engine, reverse, no issue.

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

That's why I suggested a diagnostic - as either the sensors are the incorrect type or it isn't the sensors that are the issue.

For a diagnostic yes, you would need a Lexia kit ideally.

Sensors don't need programming, but this will run a global diagnostic and advise you of the fault codes. You can then post them up here.

Members can also get a discount from a UK supplier many of us use on the Forum, see here for details so you can make a comparison:
