Qashqai Parking Aid Fault
Summary of the thread
The parking aid on a 2011 Nissan Qashqai is malfunctioning, with an error stored in the system. The suspected causes include a defective cable or plug connection, but initial checks of the control module, ultrasonic sensors, and rearview camera wiring revealed no visible issues. Suggestions for further diagnosis include checking the voltage at the sensors using a multimeter and considering a potential fault within the control module itself. Ultimately, taking the vehicle to a workshop for professional diagnosis is recommended, as they have the necessary tools to accurately identify the problem.

Thank you. I have not checked the voltage at the sensors. Can you elaborate on the correct procedure? Regarding the control module, is there a way to test its functionality without specialized equipment? I did look for corrosion, and it was not apparent.

Right, checking voltage requires a multimeter – you'll need to find the correct pins on the sensor connector and see if they're getting the voltage they should (specs will be in the service manual). As for the control module...testing without proper tools is tricky. You could try a visual inspection for burnt components on the board if you're comfortable opening it, but honestly, at this point, you're probably best off taking it to a workshop. They have the diagnostic tools to pinpoint exactly what's failing. Given the symptoms, a garage should be able to identify the issue relatively quickly!

Understood. I appreciate the explanation. I will take the vehicle to a workshop for a professional diagnosis. The estimated repair cost I received beforehand was around 95€, so at least I have a rough idea of what to expect.

Hey there! Sounds frustrating. Parking aids are super handy when they work. You've checked the sensors themselves, good start. Did you check the voltage at the sensors? Sometimes it's not visibly broken wires, but a voltage drop that causes the system to throw an error. Also, have you thought about the control module itself? Could be a fault within the module and not necessarily the wiring to it. Is there any corrosion visible on the connectors?
