Park Assist Problems - Advice for a newbie please

[robbieg]

Hi all

I wonder if anyone has any advice. For the last couple of days I've been getting Park Assist issues.

Whenever I slow down for lights or at a give way sign, for example, Park Assist comes on and I get a message telling me to clean the front sensors.
I've done that multiple times (microfibre cloth with shampoo) on all sensors but it's still happening.

I've attached a photo of 3 warning icons I'm also getting.

Can't see anything wrong with the sensors. It has been very cold in the UK over the last few days - wondering if that might have had an impact.

Any help would be much appreciated. Really keen to avoid going to my local Porsche Centre as I'm looking to shift the car on soon. TIA

Did you clean the 4 physical cameras - front, back and each door mirror?

Check also the the camera at the top of the windscreen is clean also.

Park sensors are not related to the cameras. He is talking about the proximity sensors, hidden behind those small circles around the car corners.

Assuming there's no snow on top of them, could be cold related, rodent related, heavy rain, hard to say. Weirdly enough, I see the back ones don't return error, so if it were cold related one would assume all will give the same error. Can you confirm if those actually work?

Have you tried a hard 2 finger PCM reset? It resets the parking sensors and cameras also.

Sometimes this is the first indication that you have a flat tire, so please check tire pressure i guess it gets the sensors out of balance and you see these alerts coming before the flat tire from the TPMS system

I understand how it works.

Warning triangles are by 3 of the physical cameras unless this relates to something else and part of remote park assist or the enhanced 3D / 360 panoramic from an earlier Taycan.

Thanks for the replies.

Tyre pressure checked - all inflated to correct pressure
All cameras working as they should
PCM rebooted
All cameras and sensors cleaned

Getting the same error. Won't let me access Park Assist. Can live without it but the constant beeping whenever I slow to a crawl is infuriating.

Any other advice before I make the dreaded call to my dealership

Disconnect 12v battery for hard reset of all 12v systems.
