Hello

I've spent awhile looking through the forums to see if this issue hasn't been addressed already, but can't find anything similar.

I have a J10 1.5 Diesel. A recent fault/issue has started when ever I put the car into reverse.

I get the initial beep that you get when going into reverse (parking sensor beep). This beep then instantly changes to a high pitched beep/alarm noise.

It continues for about 2 seconds - then turns into an intermittent beep - it sounds just like a lorry reversing.

Whilst this is happening, the reversing sensors don't work - after about 4 seconds, the higher pitch alarming stops, and then the parking sensors work as normal.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thank you - Simon

I didn' know (never heard) the beep when selecting reverse. Not on my cars anyway. is this specific to J10 cars?

It's your typical annoying electrical fault in that it's intermittent and a nightmare to trace the origin.

At the moment it's stopped - I'm going to check later that it's not an over inflated "Bulb out" warning signal - then if it continues, I'll probably give Nissan a ring.

One thing it does show - is how dependent on reversing sensors you get, to hep park your car!

Does it have an After Market reversing alarm unit fitted? That is not standard AFAIK.

Hi - no it's all standard - it's had a tow bar fitted - but that was last year. Coincidentally it started after being jet washed, which may or may not be a factor

Hi Trail71, did you get to the bottom of this issue? Mine is doing the same thing and I can't find anything online about the fault.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Welcome DRobinson to this forum

I don't think you get a beep when going into reverse unless you're close to an object behind.

Drobinson - is yours exhibiting exactly the same symptoms?
