ALP errors, what's wrong with my device?

[lamster]

Thanks for your help, I moved away from the fence and It stopped spazzing on me but occasionally I still need to walk past the passenger side sensors to activate "defense mode". If I don't, the LED would stay green the entire time
If I only connect my driver side, it would activate defense mode on its own.
Red rocket for the PDC range, I disabled it

Even if you disable the PDC Range the sensors will still work as parking sensors but just not alert you. If sensors are blocked at startup you might still have a startup delay in getting to defense mode.

This is why you do not switch to Blue defense mode. The Pass. sensor still "sees" a tiny amount of reflection coming back to it from the fence...but not quite enough to cause a "fault" condition. When you momentarily walk in front of the Pass. sensor, that blocks the IR reflection for a split second which is just enough to satisfy the sensor that all is good. Park in the street & it should boot-up normally ! Lastly, if you were to pull out of your driveway still in the Green LED condition on the "Control Set"...once you cleared the fence & are onto the street the ALP will automatically switch to Blue condition on its own.

It was your video in Post #1 that provided the clue of what was happening. When you shot the ALP w/ the blue "TourV4" (range finder?) & it went into constant alarm condition, I recognized what was happening. The full output IR power of the Sensor was now reflecting off the chain link fence & the sensor was fooled by its own reflection thinking it was a legit threat. That's why it kept "firing" constantly. You should turn PDC back on & set the range to 3 as I suggested previously...just don't park so close to the fence anymore.

I think I know what you do in the Military if you're using a range finder, or maybe you're a very good Golfer. - lol

I drove on the highway for about an hour and it stayed green lol, really strange. Wish i recorded that when it happened.
Purchased the range finder to play golf on the weekend

@lamster

Guess we have more work to do...

*Important -What type Thumb drive (ver. 2.0 or 3.0 ?) are you using, its storage capacity & what is brand name of it ?
1.What "Ports" on the "Control Box" (CPU) do you have the 2 Sensors plugged into ?
2.I ask that you place a label on each of the 2 cable ends close to the connector in the cabin, & I.D. one as Driver & other Pass.(for more troubleshooting if necessary later on)

It's possible f/w got corrupted somehow when loading into the Control Box from a USB thumb drive b/c of your ongoing fault problems. It's possible a sensor is bad,but lets do things a couple of steps at a time to try to figure out what is going on. Before we proceed further I'll wait for above answers & BRD's request in Post #16.

p.s. - I'll be unavailable Fri. & Sat to offer any help here.

RedRocket ill have a short clip for you in just a few moments. Apparently my driver sensor seemed to died now -.-, thats gonna be my 2nd sensor dead from my triple setup

Only one sensor shows attached.if you had more than one sensor fail you need to inspect your wiring and make sure no wires are pinched or nicked.

Agree, something is seriously wrong if Sensors are failing like this, may be best to stop putting 12v power to the Priority until you completely check wiring and for bent pins in the connectors.

Unless you have some electrical/electronics experience in troubleshooting this problem, you need someone to help you that does have knowledge.- What State are you located ?

Im graduated with an b.s. electrical engineer degree.
Checked all the wires, i even tried connecting the driver side alp to the "center alp connector", didn't change a thing.
Here's some clips of today, i wish i could combined them all for you:
.(Once i cover the driver side alp, i get a series of beep)
