Marea Parking Aid Fault

My 2001 Fiat Marea diesel with 95k miles has a parking aid fault. The system is dead, and the error memory shows a fault. I've read it's likely a cable or plug connection issue. Has anyone else encountered this?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with the parking sensors on my old Saab 9-3. Have you checked the control module itself? Sometimes the connections corrode. Is the reverse light working?

Reverse light is fine. Where is the control module usually located on these Mareas? How accessible is it? Trying to see if it's a DIY job or needs a workshop.

On the Saab it was hidden behind the bumper, hard to reach. But given the reverse light works, it points to the sensors or control module. With these older cars, it's best to take it to a workshop before trying to fix it yourself. It's a 20-year-old car.

Thanks for the insight. I booked it in. It was a corroded connector. The workshop charged 95€ to fix it. It's all working now.
