Reverse sensor long continuous beep - spoil?

[Midnight]

Dear all,

It happened twice so far. Begin on Friday. When i put to reverse, it will beep continuously. But i confirmed at the back got nothing.

But it is back to normal after i switch off and on the engine again.
Is it spoil liao?

If you polish/wax your own car, then you should check if the polish or wax has got in-between the gap of the outter and inner component of the sensors. If yes, then the wax or polish has hinder the normal operation of the sensors as they uses sound wave reflection to gauge the obstacles distance. Try use a needle or something small enough to clear the gap. If it's not, then you better send it back to TCM to have it checked.

[ahhoe]

i got mine changed to another 3rd party one. Having intermittent problem with TC's sensor which their tech fail to rectify.

[apoca]

I also realise sometimes, there is 2 different beeping sound when I reverse.
Anyone notice?

one is indicating that the reverse gear is engaged
the other is that produced by the reverse sensing system

I have not polish or wax my car so far. But yeah, that may be a good tip because it could be the dirt in the gap?
I will monitor for a while more...

Think u r right, but im pretty sure my long continuous beep is not normal.

[NSman]

Have u check ur sensor?? maybe is dislocate or angel alinement is out.

possible to mute the one that indicate the reverse gear is engaged??
just solely depend on the reverse sensing system enough liao..
too many beepp beepp sound very irritating..

[Silver]

is probably a safety feature

best to just get used to it

Visual inspection shows nothing has been dislocated or out of alignment. Again, it is intermittent fault. I think if i go TCM now will also kanna shoot down. This 2 days is ok, the long beep did not come. I will continue to monitor to see if it comes back....

lol... live with it... don relied on the sensor too much, check blindspot with your own eyes & reverse carefully...

It happened again last night for the 3rd time. But this time i put it to 'D' and then 'R' again and it functions normally. No need to shut off engine and restart as per the first time.

I dun usually rely on the reverse sensor because i will open my door and stick my head out to look at the back when reversing. Old habit dies hard. 

But the sound is just irritating.

Same as u. For the peace of mind, I just open the door and check.

[Midnight]

i confirmed the long beep is coming intermittenly.
There r just too many little faults here and there for latio. Operations are not stable. My previous Kim Chi car although seriously lack of power doesn't have such issue.

Anyway i am beginning to find myself starting to accept all this. Making trips to TCM is simply time consuming. :-S

[gnoyee]

My one is not like yours. Totally silent and got no beeping sound at all. I send to them for a check today and they replace the modules but still the same. When engage reverse gear i only hear a sound of tick tick tick only. It seem that the buzzer got some problem.


Like to find more opinion. what could be this proble,

[Midnight]

Get TCM to change every component of the reverse sensor system.

For my case, i narrow it down and more or less confirmed is due to weak battery because shortly after the symptoms appeared, my battery died. Change a new one and until now, have been abt a month, the symptoms did not re-surface.

I didn't expect so many Latio bros have this problem. I realise that if I shift too fast from D to R, the long beep will happen. Therefore I always make sure that I completely stop the car before slowly shifting from D to R. Ours not racing car, so probably give the car some time to 'think' and react to the driver's input. Now no more long continuous beep already. If it persist, try put to D and R again. It should be okie.

I used to have this problem.... but the problem disappeared when go to TC.

However, I think it is quite common, according the the SE.
what they will do is to
1 reset the sensor and then you drive off and see how.
2 if still got the problem after a few reset, they can then change it.
they can't change it straight away as they need to try to reset it first.

don;t need to book an appt, just call TC, ask to speak to any SE (by name if you know them) then ask them what to do.


finally, I got mine changed...

I used to  have this problem. The sensors have an outer ring an an inner ring. Align the outer ring which has a small bump to the 6 o clock position. The problem will go away.
