I just Purchased an 08 S63, the car is beautiful. the only thing that i have an issue with is the parking / distronic not working. Using Xentry / Das i cleared all the codes. the only code that appears as "Cuurent" is 6902 A86/1 front range radar sensor, can bus off. Is there any way to diagnose this further without pulling the bumper off?

its not great info to go on....

I'm thinking it could be anything - sounds like an odd message you don't turn canbus systems on and off

a 2008 car should have 4 visible ultrasonic parking sensors front and rear - little circles in the bumpers - so parking sensors shouldn't be linked to a cruise fault?

do you think it has the correct bumpers on the car ?
do you know if its been accident damaged and incorrectly repaired ?
does your cruise control have ANY functionality ?
distronic plus is an option (most of the world except japan who got just distronic), and should have one big radar behind the front grill and then two small radars hidden behind the bumper - in early cars these did the front parking duties too

It has the distronic plus with parktronic and the hidden radars. When looking at the information provided through diagnostic it lists both parktronic and distronic being unavailable due to related error.

go on a chassis decode site and get the options and post the lot here - 2007 moved to ultrasonic stuff - its possible the CGW of a 2008 car can't make the earlier set up work

The car is very original. And has only been serviced at the dealer.

year of modification.... aka build year 807 I guess ? I did ask POST ALL

I don't have access to mine at present... but later cars with ultrasonic sensors get a different set up - if you have a muddle up with an old bumper and a later build car it will have issues

thats a fraction of the info

year of modification.... aka build year ?

ALL the details helps us work out what you have - other elements of the build give a clue as to its age...

Xentry will tell you which sensor/wire/module or whatever is wrong with it. People here are going to guess....

al300sd

That's my question Where in xentry / das should I be looking for that info. (I cleared the ESP message it hasn't come back). The only thing I'm left with is the 6902.

brilliant now u let on the ESP is broken and its the short range SGR radars....
