had this comment on the back of another thread , should have started another before , Sorry

One question I have , has anybody got the reverse sensor kit . If so has anyone noticed any changes in the sensor operation .

From new and also as normal , if you select reverse then there is one loud beep then contious beeps when you aproach an obsticle ( as it should be )

Sometimes ive had it select reverse then beep but afterwards it continues to make 2 beeps at a time continously , even though there is nothing behind . It seems to do it once then go away after the 1st journey in the day ( so second Journey , it doesnt do it

i dunno how these sensors work, but maybe they need to be cleaned or something? just an idea, probably talking complete and utter rubbish, but could be worth a try??

Yeah I thought of that

It also seems to be more in the morning when its colder and then when it warms up a bit it doesnt do it . Its seems to be intermitent as some days it does it but others it doesnt

works ok but cant find any reasons in the manual

if ur car is still under warranty, take it back to mr T, and ask them to take a look at it. im sure they probably wont have a clue either though! :P

I got a 54 plate yaris T3 as a courtesy car recently which had rear parking sensors and it beeped once when you selected reverse and then would beep faster the closer it got to something.

If i were you I would take yours back to MrT and get them to sort it..stand your ground if they cant find a problem. It's probably something pretty simple..

Well yours sounds OK , they should operate like that

It was just something weird on mine . I will have to take it in but they probably wont do any thing . i ll check the warrenty but I think its overdue now . I cant remember if its just one year on the sensor kit ( may well be ) HAd the car 1.5 years now . It just seems to do it first thing in the morning , beep-beep , beep-beep . when you select reverse , nothing behind it

:blink::blink::wacko:

You said it happens on cold mornings, perhaps due to condensation or ice on them? Or something reflecting off ice or water into the sensor. Not 100% how they work but that maybe some of the reasons.
