Default Rear Parking Sensors

Hi all, Noticed last night when reversing instead of the normal change of beep when reversing closer to objects, I had one long continuous beep even though there was nothing behind me?
Any ideas?

Bandit, that long tone is the "error" signal. One of your backup sensors probably failed and you need to replace it. What I will tell you to do is to turn the key to the "RUN" position (keep the engine off), set the e-brake, put the car in reverse and then put your ear next to each of the sensors (4 total). You should hear a high pitch squeal/chirp from the sensors. If you have 1 sensor that doesn't chirp, that is your bad sensor. It will need to be replaced. The sensors can be had for fairly cheap if you look around.

If you have any more questions, let me know. Do not forget to check the wiring for any damage before just replacing the sensors.
