Another problem on my ever growing list.....
This morning I have noticed that my rear sensors dont work yet my fronts do.... Normally I'd be thinking the PDC module which looks visibily, ok... but will it be this module if the fronts are working? None of the rears work at all...

Do you park outdoors? Was it a cold morning? I have had cases where ice got stock to one of my PDC sensors and it had issues, however in your case all 4 not working sounds very different. What year is your E60 from?

Na this was a fairly warm morning in an underground car park after driving to work... my cars a 55 plate....
Bizarre as the fronts show everything via the idrive yet i got out and walked around the back, nothing at all for the rears.

There is only one PDC module located in the trunk. Try re-seating the connector, hopefully that will do the trick. If not, then check to see if the PDC cable behind the rear bumper is properly connected. This probably means you will have to remove the bumper to get to it.
