Hi,
Cross posting from rennlist... i did a search and found very little information regarding this. the ones i did find are usually intermittent. mine seemed to just stopped dead. anyone had this happen to them? i'm out of warranty so just wondering if theres a quick and easy fix or something i can check. or if someone brought it in to repair, just wondering how much it would cost. i'm not very wrench savvy.

mine just started doing this too. I just got a icarsoft ODB diagnostic tool so I tested it out; it came back with right inner sensor open.
I’m going to have to wait until it gets warmer to take the bumper off and look. I think there was only one connector in series to the sensors so I assume if one goes, they all fault.
Haven't had the failure, but I did just do the bumper removal for air filter and headlight washer replacement, I can confirm it is a single connection per side for all of the parking assist sensors.

I thought the sensor connection was only on the passenger side? I don’t remember doing a disconnect on the drivers other than the running lights

Definitely on both sides, at least on my 2011 turbo model.
- Orange parking lights: Both sides (little connectors with medal clips)
- Parking Assist connector: Both sides, plastic press in connector
- Headlight washer line: Single passenger side connection
My 2010 is doing the same thing pretty much with 9/10 times I start the car up. I get the loud and rather startling "tone" and the indicator stating parking assist failure on the front. Not interested in removing my bumper so next time its at the dealer for maintenance I'll have them look / quote the repair. I assume the sensor has failed.
