No audible alert from reversing sensor

The back proximity sensor has ceased functioning when reversing; all other features, including the camera, operate normally. The button on the central console is activated for parking sensors, and when shifting into reverse, the camera activates, accompanied by a beeping sound. The dashboard display...

Re: Battery ambiguity

Hello, does the old battery have AGM labelled on it? If so, it is intended for stop-start vehicles; however, I am unaware of your car's specifications.

As you are aware, codes do not inherently equate to "replace sensor."

The same issue, wherever you have tried and shown the same code, or you exhibit analogous symptoms.
