How can I tell if my PARKTRONIC sensor is faulty?
If not then the system needs to be checked for fault codes on a diagnostic tool to isolate the fault. As said a faulty sensor is likely & this would be picked up on a diagnostic tool.
Is there a problem with my PARKTRONIC bumpers?
Check all sensors in the bumpers to ensure that all are secure with no signs of damage – a front number plate surround can also cause this problem as the inner sensors pick it up constantly – if fitted then remove this first to see if the problem is cured.
What causes a fault in the PARKTRONIC system?
Hi,This happens when there is a fault in the parktronic system & is often caused by a faulty or loose sensor.

Sometimes there’s damage to the sensor housing from impact but visually looks ok from the exterior. Star can check the sensors and pinpoint which ones causing the fault. I had the same problem on my ML.
Why is my PARKTRONIC not working on my Mercedes?
Inspect the front sensors for interference, cleanliness, and proper orientation. FYI – a gush of water, running down the vehicle’s hood over the sensors when the vehicle is braking can cause activation. Dealer can readily identify malfunctioning sensor.

Is there any way to re-set PARKTRONIC system?
It can still be coaxed to work, and will still correctly show how close objects are whilst parking, but is there any way to re-set the system to clear whatever has caused the initial fault? Checked all the sensors (front & rear) and there are no visible signs of damage which would explain the presence of this error.
