My car is fitted with front and rear park distance control, when I select reverse I get a single beep lasting a few seconds and the PDC button on the dashboard flashes. The sensors have stopped working, all of them.
(About a year or so ago I did have a rear sensor faulted but it didn't cause this symptom, just the single sensor didn't work and I replaced it myself.)

Handbook says this is an indication of a faulted system.
Anybody else had this?
Is it likely to be the main control module or one of the sensors?
Easy job to do it myself?

Cheers people smile

Mine did this. It was one of the sensors. Replaced it and all worked again.

Cheers, how did you identify which one it was?

If I recall one of mine wasn't making a clicking sound when you put your ear on the sensor. I replaced that one. Turned out to be a run of the mill sensor, got one from a BMW.
