My PDC stopped working on my 545i when I am reversing is there something i can try to do my self to avoid the dealer? like a setting on the idrive or something?

do you get an error on the i drive? or a blinking green light on the button?

if not its just your setting in the idrive menu.

no green light or anything. on my i drive sttings the only menu i see for pdc is a button that says enabled. am i suppose to be looking somewhere else. c.joe was it expensive to get it fixed..

there should be a setting to allow it to show when in reverse.

marlonac

so what your saying is when the car is in reverse i should press the idrive and there a pdc setting shall pop up.

i will have to check my settings to give you better details.. unless someone else knows exactly

If you put get a friend to put the car in gear you can tell which sensor is not working by putting you finger on each one. You should feel a light 'clicking' or 'pulsing' under you finger. The one that doesn't work will won't pulse.

You could try spraying the outside face of the faulty sensor with WD40, that might cure it. Someone on here did that to a faulty PDC sensor and it worked well.
