1. Check that all the sensors are working - put the car into reverse (handbrake on of course) and of course if working OK you get a short bleep - if a long bleep or silence then an issue - place your ear to each sensor - if it is still live you will hear a ticking sound from the sensor which means it is functioning OK -if silent then a failed sensor.

2. If all your sensors are fine/ or all 4 not working then check the connector that links the parking ECU to the actual sensor loom - the terminals in the connector can corrode.

And if no beep check also if your reversing lights are working. If not then it could be the reverse switch in the gearbox. Easy enough job if its this.
