Rear parking sensors lighting up all red?

2018 E63 wagon
Just a few days ago, every time I put the car into reverse, all the rear parking sensors are lit up in red (all the way around the back of the car) and the warning beep is on. If I start backing up anyways, usually they stop alarming / clear themselves.
However, its EVERY time I put the car in reverse.

Anyone experienced this? Is there a way to reset or recalibrate?

Yeah I washed it a couple weeks ago. The issue didn’t start until maybe 4 days ago tho. The car is pretty clean. I went around and wiped off all the bumper sensors and cameras too, didn’t make any difference

I assume the rear sensors are just the ones in the bumper? Are there others I should try to make sure are clean? Again it’s ALL the rear sensors are going off. Not just 1 or 2 zones

That's not dirty sensors. Something's wrong with the system. Time for the dealer or a good independent.
