I have a 2012 mustang and 1 of the rear sonar sensors don't work because of a minor rear end collision. Whenever I shift into reverse it says "check rear sensor", and the message would stay there till I reset it. I have to reset it every time I'm done reversing and it's annoying. When they were working before the collision it would let me choose "on" or "off", but now that 1 is damaged it's not letting me choose. Any easy way to disable them?

 

Can't you go into settings and disable the sensors? I know you can on 2013

 

Put a piece of electrical tape over the warning light until you get it fixed.

 

A dealer!

 

LOL - works but -....... the dealer is the best bet bud....

 

When u change gear into reverse u will ahead park aid on and hit down arrow to off

 

when i put it in reverse the message "check rear sensor" comes on and doesn't let me choose on or off.

 

you could always, I dunno... go to your dealership.

 

Alright so I was able to go into "Set up" and choose "off" in the reverse sensing option. However, once I turn off the ignition and turn it on again, the reverse sensing system comes on again and the message again displays "check park aid".

 

yeah I can, but when the car starts back up, it is enabled.

 

again, to go back to the point of this all.. is there a reason that you can't take your car in and utilize that warranty?

 

I thought he is trying to avoid a repair because the collision damaged the rear fascia. Warranty would not cover that.

 

That's what I thought too.

 

Have you considered replacing the sensor?

 

Hi Will3212,

I'm glad to know you’re OK! It looks like everyone has recommended that you visit your dealer; they are correct. Your vehicle will definitely have to be inspected and diagnosed by your Ford dealer. I can escalate this for you if needed. For me to do this, please PM me your VIN, mileage, dealer, full name, and best contact number.

I love to see the community helping out. Thanks for the backing, guys!
