Mercedes C Klasse parking assist issue
Summary of the thread
A 2016 Mercedes C Klasse hybrid experienced a parking assist malfunction, with symptoms including a non-functional parking assistant, dead rearview camera, and offline radar sensors. A diagnostic scan identified a parking aid fault. A similar issue in another vehicle was resolved by replacing a defective sensor, as the system shuts down if one sensor fails. Following this advice, replacing the faulty radar sensor and clearing error codes restored the system's functionality.

The rearview camera is dead When you say similar, do you mean the parking assist was completely non-functional, throwing errors, but the camera still worked What was the root cause in your case I'm trying to narrow down if I'm chasing the same issue

Yes, exactly The parking assist was completely non-functional, but the camera worked fine The official workshop determined that one of the sensors was defective I was advised that the whole system shuts down as a safety measure if one sensor is not working properly I would recommend visiting the workshop, so they can read out the error memory and make a diagnosis

I was hoping to avoid the workshop, but it seems like a deeper dive is necessary After a thorough scan with a Mercedes-specific diagnostic tool, it pinpointed a faulty radar sensor I replaced it, cleared the error codes, and everything is back online Thanks again for sharing your experience it helped confirm I wasn't barking up the wrong tree
