3) Push the parking sensor button on the dash (one quick push) until the green light on the sensor button comes on.
4) Check the screen to see if any of the rear sensors are showing. Go put ear up to them, right on them in fact, to hear them clicking (it's a subtle clicking).
5) If no sensors are showing on screen and none are clicking, then one of the rear sensors must be out. Unplug the rear sensor bank from the module and repeat these steps to see if the front ones are working.

Once the faulty sensor is diagnosed as being in front or back, start swapping until the bad one is found and replaced.
Dear PowderlvrThank you very much for your reply. My dash button for the parking sensors does not show any lights. I guess it is meant to be yellow or green. I have checked the fuse as well. I'm a little lost where to start again? Kindest regards

I too am at a loss and am sorry I wasn't of any assistance. The code "00576 - Terminal 15, 008 - Implausible Signal" seems like something worthy of more investigation, as Mishar suggested. Please do report when you get this solved.

Dear PowderlvrThanks for all the suggestions At least we tried. I will get in touch with some electrical guy to have it looked into and get back to you. Kindest regards.

You have an 06, your car has graphical display, you should be able to see the front or the rear indicator. If none of them exist then it's the controller. If it's the front, you should also see where the sensors fail by looking at the graphical interface xxx-283 C.

Cheers,

I’ve got the same problem but where exactly is the controller? None of my sensors work even though I’ve changed 3 in total that According to my faultreader, don’t know what it is called in the states.

Is it in the trunk you mean or just behind the bumper? Not familiar to the word trunkliner
