PDC fault failure please Help

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on here but I have been a reader of the forum for a long time and was hoping someone could help me?
I have a e92 325i with front and rear PDC
a few weeks ago I started getting the message PDC fault – this isn’t intermittent but every time its in reverse or the PDC button is pressed.
I get no beep at all.
I have tried the click test and only one front and one back sensor are clicking!!
I thought that it would be strange for 6 sensors to all go down at the same time so I removed both bumpers to check cabling which is all ok and I tried swapping the sensors around.
The problem still points towards the sensors as wherever I plug the 2 that work, then they click and none of the other sensors click in any position!
Has anybody else had anything like this?
Is it possible for 6 sensors to all go at once or could the fault be elsewhere?
Do I need to bite the bullit and take it to an indie or the stealers?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated and thanks in advance

I have the same problem too..... Any luck fixing it?

Mine started after jestwashing and would sort itself out after a few days, now I get the error all the time

I think sensor replacement is the only option

The wiring loom to the front sensors are prone to getting chaffed by the position it's in, it sits on the top of the bumper carrier and the slight vibrations acan rub though the outs sheathing of the loom

I had this on my last 335d coupe....they replaced the loom under the AUC warranty
No sensors were needed thankfully

Worth having checked out

It might not be this as I've suggested, but your symptoms were very similar to those of mine


Regards

Tom
