Seat Altea Parking Aid Fault

I am sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with your Seat Altea. I own the same car model, and I encountered a similar problem with the parking aid system. The parking sensors did not function, and an error message was displayed. I would suggest that you check the connections to the proximity sensors, also known as ultrasonic sensors, as these are often the source of such issues. Are you familiar with how these sensors work?

Cheers for the reply! When you say check the connections, are we talking about the plug connections themselves, or is there something else I should be looking at? I've had a quick look, but couldn't immediately spot anything obvious.

Yes, I am referring to the plug connections to the sensors themselves. In my case, it was a loose connection at one of the rear parking sensors. However, I would recommend that you consult a qualified technician to diagnose and resolve the problem, as they have the appropriate tools and expertise. It is important to ensure that all connections are secure and free from corrosion. Given the potential complexity, seeking professional assistance may be the most efficient and effective approach.

Big thanks! Took it to my local garage, and turns out it was a dodgy connection on one of the proximity sensors, just like you said. 95€ later, and it's all working perfectly again. Appreciate the help!
