Another failed sensor but I have a question

[dinkydi]

It alerted the one time it was first noticed not present by the CPU then never again. I had to test to find it was toast
You could miss the fail warning and never know a sensor was gone..at least for me this time
When the cable failed last year it constantly alerted randomly but that may have been due to it working sporadically...not sure but regardless it may be a good idea to test every now and then

thats very interesting as i had a similar issue not showing on the sensor check, but the same sensor worked testing with a laser a tester but no show in parking mode

The error will repeat at every restart unless you accidentally run a factory reset and memorize the bad configuration.

Have had a lengthy series of beeps and red flashes (around 20?) on startup over the last few weeks, since around the time I updated the firmware last. Finally got stats file and it reported F1 sensor problem. I confirmed that the F1 sensor was not working in parking mode while the other 3 work fine. Then I was surprised to find that the F1 sensor was warm to the touch, while the others were cool. Experienced this? Does not seem like connection loose otherwise it would probably not be hot! More likely basic sensor failure and probably needs replacement but it is not clear to me how I go about getting replacement so any advice would be appreciated. Equipment is about a year and a half old. Thanks!

If you dont have HiFi you with get an automatic sensor check failure which is a bunch of quick beeps at startup. Pulling the stats file was the process on standard systems to see the error details. If the product is within 24 months of purchase it will be covered under warranty. If you ordered it from the USA then contact http://www.alpriorityusa.com to setup your service. If you are from another country contact the dealer in your country for repair information.

I think this failure was caused by water from a recent car wash I did...I recall concentrating the spray from the want in that area...soon I will rear the sensor apart and have a look inside

Okay to here is the results..it's clear the weather sealing failed..

This is a 4 year in service rear mounted sensor..that from the appearance depicts moisture infiltrating through the lower face/case seam. I do not know if the current units are fabricated the same or if this particular sensor has failed do to a manufacturing defect or design issue...I suppose time will tell if the others follow suit..I'm wondering if this might be considered as a potential warranty claim ?

Was the mounting bracket used? Biggest cause of failure is snapping the bracket onto the lens which breaks the internal seal.

does this diagram come with the new units , looks a very important set of instructions

Yes, But unfortunately people dont seem to read instructions. Original sensors only had an internal seal but for the past few years AntiLaser also added an additional external seal as well as a backup.

No bracket..double sided tape along top plane
