Reverse Sensor too sensitive
« on: April 27, 2008, 11:59:29 PM »
Hi guys I have a query on our reverse sensor system: 

A couple of days ago, while reversing to park at my usual slot, my reverse sensor sounded out rapidly onced I engaged the 'R' gear. I checked my rear mirror and saw no barriers. Usually even when parking in-between 2 cars, the sensor won't be so rapid unless its very close.

Then today, I parked head-in to drop off some things for my parents, when I reversed out, the sensor sounded rapidly again. There was no cars beside or behind me!

I understand that our reverse sensor system has 4 stages (the slow beep, the fast beep, the faster beep and the continuous one). Think my reverse sensor too sensitive or faulty.

Any bros /sis faced this problem before? Is it covered with warranty with TC?  :confused1:

me having this issue too, then I look very ******** coz parking halfway jam brake, others see me like dun know how to park  :mad:

The sensor seems to sense the sides too if too close.

But sometimes the sensor BOBO one. 2 occastions the object at dead center, never sense, then I bong it, lucky the little hum i kena not very obvious, got one time bong a small tree also

Dun rely too much on this sensor, no good, see mirror better

i complain abt the resverse sensor during servicing. They did adjustment. I complain again, the claim to have changed the sensor. But still same problem. Everytime reverse have to open the door and put my head out. Looks at ********.

Am thinking of getting a rear camera to solve this problem.

Hmmm, seems like this prob is 'popular' among us. Maybe have to use our 'original' way of parking w/o any sensor, juz use mirror & pop head outta wiondow!!! :w00t:

hahaha...i steady one bro...me open door and bend out far far and look behind to reverse  :bleh:..anyway, sensor is just a guide, end of the day, we still need to use our own skills and exp to gauge the situation and enviroment.. :thumbsup:...but it does serve it purpose most of the time lah...
