A DIFFERENT Parking sensor problem on J11

I have read many posts concerning this problem most blaming the rear buzzer . On my J11 the rear buzzer and rear parking sensor are working fine.
When I try to turn on front parking sensors than I immediately get a flashing parking on/off switch and a screen notice about sensor failure.
Could this be the front buzzer ? Where is the front buzzer ? Is there more than one?
Thanks for any advice

Welcome to this forum.

Surely a notice saying "Sensor Failure" is suggesting that a sensor has failed - or am I misinterpreting things here.

Why do you want to inspect the sounder?

Because many other posts re J11 parkingsensors refer to the rear sounder as the cause of the problem

OK - I concede viewtopic.php?t=6268 does seem to suggest the sounder may be the cause, albeit towards the end of that topic someone's replaced the sounder and the problem was not cured.
