Unhappy 2005 E60 PDC Park Distance Control issue - other threads checked!

Hi all,

My E60 530d has had a scrape and since then the PDC hasn't worked

I've read as many threads as possible before posting this and I've noticed/tried the below:

- I haven't once received the PDC Failure notice
- 'CHECK' shows no faults
- When activated by selecting reverse or pressing the PDC button the LED stays lit but doesn't flash
- When deselecting reverse the PDC stays active for a few seconds as per usual
- Turning on PDC and listening for clicking at each of the 8 sensors - they ALL click?! Bizarrely when turning PDC off they still click?!
- Unplugging the 3 connections in the PDC module and reconnecting - no difference, but this is the only time the PDC button flashed (when unplugged)
- Holding PDC down for 10 seconds before turning on engine
- iDrive reset using volume, CD eject and DVD eject

Nothing has resolved PDC visual still appears in iDrive but no audio/colour indicators

Any ideas? It seems most have a PDC failure warning or one or more sensors don't click but all mine do?!

Thanks

Have you repaired the car since the "scrape"? If so maybe the body shop did the repair the lazy way and just disabled checking in the software?
