Pincher Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 The PDC button on my 530 has starting flashing - any idea why that may be? When I start up, I get a long beep, as if something is in the way although there isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterS Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure this indicates a fault with the system, usually a faulty sensor IIRC... Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Cheers - just done a search on BMWland I tried the click test on all 8 sensors and none seem to be any quieter than the others. Car is filthy so cleaned them over with a cloth but doesn't seem to have made any difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I know it's filty now, but you had your car "Polish Jet Washed" recently? Our local guys gave my rear sensors a battering and it took a couple of minutes for them to settle afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincher Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It was jet washed a couple of weeks ago but only went wonky yesterday It may be the PDC control unit I fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Flashing PDC button and a continuous tone is the fault warning sign, I'm afraid to say. Been there, got the T-shirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
