Ineffective blind spot system.
Gents.

I have a problem with my "blind spot function" The system reports "system inactive" and the triangle in the mirrors lights up constantly yellow.

How do I find out which one of the 4 sensors is defective?

And what is the recommendation regarding the replacement?

Good weekend.

You need a SDS. Any other guess is a shot in the dark at this point.

I do not know of any other scanner since I personally have SDS. Where are you located? Maybe one of us that has SDS is in the same area as you? I am in CT and have no problem helping you if you are near me.
