That resistor is a "coding resistor" according to the wiring diag. Could well put it into a test mode, or could be used to config. the system for other models - for example, one that only uses 2 of the sensors. :-/

I wonder if there's any diagnostic info in TIS?

Genius .. :)

Service information 00029326

Trying to make sense of it, but the described "responses" don't fit my actions ... :(

Whatever I do to it .. the tones always indicate a sensor 2 & 3 error. So either the loom is FUBAR or the control unit itself.

Looks more like, hopefully, a swap with someone at Newent to check the control unit.

Mr Vauxhall decreed that my motor should have such a system, so I will do what I can to ensure it works. However, should the next step fail, I will consider your advice....  :)

Doing my head in now .. :(

New control box from AndyC arrived this morning, 2 minute job to change it ... so I do ...

Now get a different error from each box !! New one indicates a fault on sensor #1, old one a fault on sensors #2 & #3 !!  but all 4 sensors "tick" ....

I'm hoping that the new one is correct, and that one of the 2 sensors I replaced is actually OK and will work when installed.

Don't have time to drop the bumper (again) today .. so it will have to wait ... maybe until after France ..

Why can't things be simple ....   :)

Well, you can be sure that something was wrong with the box, then. Can you move the "faulty" sensor to a different location and see if the fault moves with it?

Thats part of the plan, plus swapping with the 2 that didn't "tick" in case it was the box and not the sensor .... :(

Probably tomorrow before I get the chance to drop the bumper now.. :(

I posted on the same issue a few months ago - sensors and control unit all fine - so problem is in looms but have still not got around to doing anything about it and have now got used to reversing without assistance.

ime its a case of bumper off and on several times before getting to the bottom of it, the sensors would behave for a day or so, then constant tone, bumper off and so on, pita. Went on for weeks.
