Hi
2017 J11 N-Connecta
When I select reserse the parking sensors are a constant beep ( sustained tone) even with nothing behind me. It sounds ok so I am guessing it's not the buzzer which seems a common fault. Also, I do not have 'system error' on the drivers screen, and the rear camera seems fine.
Please could anyone give me an idea what/where the fault might be ?
cheers
Steve

Steve - in my experience this can be triggered simply by the sensors being dirty.
From a thread a few months ago we learnt that it can also be triggered by a tow bar.

I usually get this on the front sensors on mine, always caused by dirt. A quick clean and they work ok.
Past cars Mercedes B Class, S Class, E Class Estate, E Class Coupe, G Wagen, 260E interspersed with Peugeot 406 and Audi Coupe.
Hi.. Thanks, gave them a good clean., no change unfortunately. I did notice the rear camera is red when nothing is behind me, so the system seems to be wrongly thinking it's getting a a return from an obstacle.

....
Nissan diagnostics for this (Sonar) system includes a number of error codes (DTCs) for each sensor. So Nissan would scan for those and change as required along with wiring harness checks. The system uses a Sonar Control Module which can also raise a DTC.
No easy DIY job other than hit and miss swapping sonar sensors.
