Front parking sensor error

[Smileysmile]

Attaching Carista fault code.

2 x errors (attached) after a few seconds illuminated.

Carista clears Park distance control then when engine starts and moves off both PDC and Start/Stop error illuminated.
Both switches on panel light up.

Can you hear the sensor working? Maybe just a faulty sensor in the bumper?

I need to have someone with me. To place it in reverse and place my finger on each sensor. It says front centre sensor. All from disconnecting my battery a few times. I read it needs recalibrating. Like 20 start and drives

Move the sensor and see if the fault moves, or stays the same.

Photo attached. Circled yellow is a thin wire that was hidden at bottom of battery which I disconnected when fitting Bluetti Charger battery cable marked with yellow X.
The thickness of that end the nut just about screws on. So I had to relocate the thin wire to the other side. Cutting the plastic to push it over.

The Start/Stop is working now and light off. Though it reappeared when I arrived on my drive close to a fence. It triggered to appear again. After 20' drive. So the parking sensor fault still there and Carista will clear it but as I'm close to the fence it triggers the light to reappear.

Maybe this might clear after a few drives. I had the battery disconnected a few times to install the charger so faults only appeared then. Stupidly forgetting thin wire. It was so hidden I did not see it. After a few days I had a good look around the battery and their it was.

Hopefully I haven't done any damage.

I'd have to remove the front bumper, right?

You'd be able to reach up from below.

Yeah, I read that somewhere. Behind the wheel arch?
Strange this should all happen after disconnecting the battery

No, below the front bumper. Swap the two centre sensors and see if the fault moves with the sensor, or not.
The sensors can fail for any number of reasons, they aren't without their failures.

I'll stick my hand up there tomorrow see what I can find
