Parking sensor front failed

[wobblewoo]

If i put the car in reverse (engine off) and listen to the sensors, the front mid left sensor is silent. I get a solid beep in the car which i guess indicates theres an issue but every now and then it works.

My question is do i just buy and fit a new sensor or is it worth checking any wiring first?

Heres the relevant scan result.

Thanks for your time.

Warren.

By all means check the wiring though this will be very unlikely. Sensors aren't cheap mind ~£82 each!
