Default Front Parking Sensors

This is weird, jacked the front end of the car. Took the wheels off to paint the calipers, and heated and form the splash guards to stops minor rubbing.

Buttoned everything back up and go for a drive and the front sensors show that an object is near the front sensors. I figured ok maybe just unhook the battery for a min. to see if the parking sensors reset themselves. Still same issue!

Is there any trick or a reset? Or possibly may have pulled a plug or something? How often do these sensors go bad?

Bug splatters can cause this too so that's something to think about.
