From ISTA+ I get sensor errors on three of my rear sensors. I replaced all faulty sensors and moving a good sensor to a faulty location does not correct the problem. I feel this indicates either a faulty control module or damaged wiring. Where is the module on a 2014 F10 / 535xi? ISTA+ says it is in the JBE but I have heard otherwise for the 2014. How do I know if it is a dedicated module or integrated into the JBE. Where would the JBE or module physically be located. I see little information on that subject.

I just performed a scan with bimmerlink app. My issue is faulty front-center parking sensor.
Now I need to find out how to get to it. Hopefully without removing the front bumper?
Any recommendations are appreciated.

Nothing??

How often is the problem a faulty JBE. Everything seems to point to that...

Having same error as OP and Issues with all front pdc sensors giving errors on ista. Suspect bad PDC module.

it appears there is no such module? newtis says the JBE is the PDC module yet other diagrams show a module in the glove box compartment.

Can't find such thing in my car.

Any help would be appreciated. (2014 535d )

I apologize for bringing up this old post. Recently, I've worked on a BWM and it turned out that I got software issue, I used a scanner and do reset the system. Search Malf for "BMW PDC Parking Assist Malfunction on YOUCANIC" , and you will see an article that goes over common causes and possible

So sorry to drag up this old chestnut, but were the issues mentioned ever resolved as having problems my front PDC. replaced one faulty sensor and bumper wiring harness to sensors, but no joy. getting Line Disconnection on all 4 of them.
