Fordy8888 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hi all the parking sensors on my S-Max 2L TDCI 57 plate MK1 have never worked since I’ve had it, I’ve tried to read the distance of the sensors on Forscan but I can’t even find the module anywhere on it in the PID’s I’ve check the module box itself for any damage inside and out and it seems okay also I have checked the voltage but I’m unsure what it’s meant to be but it’s ready -2.4V when the red is on one of the pins and the black is on the earth cable but when switch I get a positive reading of 2.4V also the switch on the dashboard doesn’t light up or flash or when put into reverse it still doesn’t do nothing any help is much appreciated 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy8888 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 There doesn’t seem to be any fuses at all in the FB side but the FA07 is okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I'm now thinking you may have aftermarket sensors? Post a photo of the module and switch on dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy8888 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 The switch stickers only come off because I used a airline to blow everything out and got too close 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Ok, all the wiring diagrams and owners manual don't match up to fuse box you have with lack of fuses. Will see what else I can find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy8888 Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Ahh I thought I was missing loads of fuses on the top and right side as it just seems to be empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But oddly there is a fuse in FA10 which should be unused according to the diagram. And as it's 30amp that has to be for a large motor, something like electric parking brake or electric seat adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have electric seat height adjustment but everything else on the seat is manual and just has the usual manual handbrake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Put a fuse in fb8 and see if anything happens. Probably a fault making the sounder go off every time you go in reverse. That maybe why someone's pulled the fuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 You are missing a 5 Amp fuse from position F7 All other fuse locations are unused and do not have contacts fitted to both ends of the fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
