Peugeot 106 Parking Aid Failure

I'm writing to ask about a problem with the parking aid on my 2002 Peugeot 106 with a gasoline engine. It has about 123386 km on it. The parking assistant isn't working, and there's an error stored. I think it might be a bad cable or plug. Any ideas?

Hey, I had something similar with my old Opel Astra, although it's a different car. My parking sensors went crazy. Have you checked the ultrasonic sensors themselves? Sometimes they get dirty or damaged. The 'error in memory' thing sounds like it could be a loose connection somewhere, like you suspect. Where did you check for errors?

Thanks. I've looked at the ultrasonic sensors for damage, but I haven't tested them. I used an OBD II scanner to read the codes.

Right, just a visual check might not be enough, those sensors can be tricky. The OBD II scanner is a good start. Sounds like you have a similar problem than I had. I would suggest to go to the workshop, so they can check the cable connections more thoroughly than you can do. In the end they found a broken cable, so they had to exchange it. That was quite it.

I appreciate your advice. I'll get a mechanic to check the cables and sensors. I will let you know the result. The estimated repair cost is 95€.
