Hi All
I need to pick your brains over another issue with my 2015 Qashqai 1.2 Dig-t N-tec+ with a mileage of around 41,000.
Two days ago I found that the two central rear bumper cameras give a "red" signal as soon as I engaged reverse gear. The two outer rear bumper cameras are fine as they activate normally when reversing close to an object.
I have wiped over the lenses but to no avail.
Any ideas what the problem might be and how to overcome it?
Many thanks.
Simon

You are speaking about parking sensors I believe.
It can be signal bouncing back from the tow bar.
If you can remove the towbar and check again in that case you can eliminate possible cause.

Hi All
The towbar was fitted a year and a half ago but the protector plate was only fitted about two months ago. Having said that, the issue only started earlier this week so why now?
I will remove the plate and ball to see if the issue stops. If it does I will refit the ball only and see if it is still OK so do away with the plate.
Thanks for all the advice and tips, and I will update you soon.
Cheers

Pics show sonic sensors detecting a kerb/hedge?
Don't think its the Tow Bar arrangement because its effectively stationary. The Sonic System alarms on a changing return sonic signal...a target approach if you like.
Do you hear a beeping or continuous alarm tone?
Reverse gear selection initiates/halts the rear sensing:
No User adjustments can be made to this system.

Hi Guys
Problem solved! The plate holding the towbar electrics socket had somehow been bent outwards a bit (see photo). The use of an old screwdriver and a lump hammer "persuaded" the plate to move backwards enough for the continuous red light and buzzer to not activate as soon as I select reverse.
Thanks everyone for your help.
Cheers

I have a detachable tow bar on my J11 and as soon as its installed, when selecting reverse the buzzers go off and I don't have the plate either. I think it's because it's a swan kneck tow bar and protudes from the car a little farther than the fixed tow bars.
