Exclamation RCF 2015 Parking Sensor Fault

Hi guys, i recently bought a 2015 RCF and everything is perfect except the Park sonar system. When i got it the system was turned off so i could not tell at the moment of purchase. I have a message saying "Check Park Sonar System" With all 6 sensors showing with a Crossed Circle Icon. Does this mean i have a faulty sensor and is making all 6 not work? or is it something more complex than this ?
Not the actual Photo but is something like this, those are the icons.

RCF has 4 sensors in the rear and 2 up front.

I would start with the front, if the car was in an accident, it is likely something is damaged or disconnected.

Well, car doesnt seem to have accident signs, no touch ups or damages. It has a clean Vin too so ill star by removing the front bumper to see if something is actualy disconected.

well clean Carfax and no outward signs don't necessarily mean anything unfortunately, people do try and hide accidents as it diminished the value.

look for over spray or damage under and behind the front and rear bumper covers.


does the car have aftermarket exhaust? someone could have bumped or damaged a rear sensor installing it.

I believe it to be a connection issue, probably front/rear sensor harness disconnected.

If you remove the front bumper, be careful but notice any disconnections from sensors, if so, that will guide you to the rear; if nothing obvious then no need to remove rear and start troubleshooting somewhere else.

does the park sense button on the lower left of the dash work, the one used to turn the system on and off? it is connected?

beyond that you will need an ODBII scanner or a dealer to read the error and know what the specific issue is.
