Parking Sensor inactive

Quick update.
I have just done the 'dirty fix' as suggested in Timons post. As i cut each brown wire from the white connector going to the PDC module i marked each with different colour shrink wrap so that i could make the correct re connections should i wish to reverse the operation. For now i have used choc block connectors to give the modification a try.
I may consider keeping them in place as if i sensor fails in the future i imagine i would need to reconnect as original for reading faults.
I now have reversing sensors functioning.
The only strange thing is that when i take it back out of reverse i get the 5 second continuous fault tone.
Has anyone else who has done this encountered this I wonder?
