Parking sensors yelling at me...

[BIMGuy]

For the past few days my Explorer has been yelling at me when I turn the wheel hard to park in my driveway. The first time I thought it was just being overly cautious with my trashcan on the street (it was 5'+ away from the car though), but now it has been doing everyday when there is absolutely nothing within 15' of the car when I turn into the driveway.

Periodically, the sensors make a brief amount of noise for no reason while in city traffic situations, so maybe the system is starting to breakdown.
Anyone else ever experience this, and have an idea on the fix?

Thanks,
Zac

Is your driveway at an angle?

Is it the same sensor alarming every time or is the whole system too sensitive? In any case, if I get a system out of wack, sometimes a good reboot will cure it. Sometimes even a Forscan module reboot doesn't work so I would recommend disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes.

Yes the driveway has a slope to it, but this is a Florida home so not much slope

It seems to be a couple sensors on the passenger side each time. I will try the battery disconnect over the weekend and hopefully it help. My front right tire pressure sensor is showing a fault as well, so maybe that can be magically fixed at the same time.

I was gonna say, because mine go off every once in a while pulling into my driveway.

2020's are needing all the TPMS sensors replaced. They only last 5 years... Do them all at once, preferrably when you need your tires replaced.

That's good to know because 3 of mine have gone out in the last month. I was going to do a TPMS reset to see if that was the problem but upon seeing your post, I'll probably just buy new ones.
