Good day all.
I'm experiencing some strange issues with my reverse sensors, my vehicle is a Hyundai accent 2012 automatic model. I took my vehicle to a car wash yesterday for the first time ever [typically wash it myself at home] and they used high pressure water to wash the car which is normal. After that, I drove to a couple of places and had no issues with the reverse sensors as I was reversing. This morning I pulled out the car and everything was normal, went down to the shops and I was shifting the car into park, I have to pass through reverse and I noticed that the car was beeping in reverse despite no obstructions behind, it beeped for a few seconds, stopped for a few seconds and started beeping again, it did this on and off despite no obstructions behind. I turned off the car, tried to clean out the sensors by simply wiping it with my fingers to make sure there was no dirt on the sensors and went into the shops. Came a couple of minutes later and when I put it into reverse, there was just a consistent beep sound (non-stop), usually only ever does that when there is an obstruction extremely close to the car (simply a warning that I'm about to hit something). There was still nothing behind so I reversed and drove home. When I got home, gave it a try and still got the consistent beeping sound, as I was turning the car around in the yard shifting between Reverse and Drive, I came close to the wall and obviously it was still beeping consistently, but when I pulled away from the wall and shifted into reverse again, the beeping stopped and the sensor seems to be working as normal without issue, drove to a couple different places after and everything works as it should, only beeps when I'm close to an obstruction which is normal. I should mention that the yard is also abit uneven with slopes as well. I believe that water may have gotten into the sensors yesterday at the car wash and that's what was causing the beeping. What I don't understand is why it did not do that yesterday and why it suddenly stopped as I came close to an obstruction and hasn't been an issue there after. Anyone have a similar experience like this before? What was the actual issue and what do you think I should do about it?
I'd prefer not to take it into the shop if its a non-issue. If it is water, it will likely dry out naturally in the coming days.
