I think it's int he coding data option or something like that in the ZKE.
If needed I'll plug mine in this evening to confirm.

Same problem , Yesterday I disarmed my front parking sensors 8 to 4 with my 1.4.0 scanner as I had a problem with a front sensor ,but now nothing is working and even the PDC switch won't work light up"
I thought you could disarm the front and just use the rear ?

You should be able to disable the fronts and I'm sure some have done that when a front sensor is out.

I've been told to disconnect the blue plug from the PDC control unit in the boot then to alter settings with my scanner from 8 to 4 sensors once done
connect back the blue plug that should have turned off the front sensors ,
Will give it a go a the weekend ,

Sorry for the hijack, but all my sensors are clicking front and back, does mean both modules are gone?

Jamee your sensors are supposed to click. That is one of the ways to check they are working correctly.

I know, but none of them actually work front or back when reversing or parking.

Jamee have you tried cleaning the sensors, i had this problem when i bought my car and i cleaned the sensors with a clay bar and they were fine after that. I was advised to try this by another forum as you can get a build up of road film/wax/polish, i thought the guy was mental when he suggested it but it worked for me.

The PDC control unit itself might be faulty?
