replacing front parking sensor

do_0b · 10-30-2018, 10:40 AM

Hi All,

Got a PDC error last night when i was in reverse. I suspect my front sensor went kaput as I kept hearing a slight beeping noise. My question is how much are the OEM sensors and are they hard to replace? Can I do it without taking off my front bumper?

I'm pretty sure you'll have to remove the front bumper but it's really easy. You can google that one. If you engage the PDC and get out of the car and walk around you can feel the sensor have a small vibration to it. That might help diagnose which one doesn't work.
