Front parking sensor

I broke my front inner parking assist sensor on my 2016 Silverado 2500hd duramax.  The part number is 52050133 but I cannot find that part anywhere.  I bought a 52050134 and also found that the parking sensors are not positional, meaning they can be put anywhere!  I'm not so sure, as most parts places online are showing this number as the rear position!  

 

I'm asking the community for help in determining if, in fact, this 52050134 sensor is fine for the front, AND, how do I get my parking assist system reset in order to stop the flashing yellow light on my dash button.

 

I have pulled the battery cables - all 4 - and zip tied the positive and negative cables together on one set of one battery to discharge the capacitors.  That didn't clear everything as hoped.  I would buy a diagnostic tool but this is a very specific issue and I don't want to waste money if it won't do what I need.  The dealerships of course, won't tell me how to fix this, but that may be what I need to do - take it to a dealer.

 

Any help would be appreciated and thankful for!

Did you try turning off the park assist in the vehicle settings?

Hmmm, I have not!  That's a great idea.  I will try that tomorrow.  However, while in the settings for that, I did turn it off then back on but didn't drive it.  Not sure if it will make a difference but worth a try.  

 

Update:  I spoke to a reputable, IMO, dealer about the flashing P/assist light and he'd never heard of, or been asked about it, at all!  I did recheck the numbers on the sensors I bought and they DO match up with the newer numbers from the dealers!  I did buy these off Ebay - set of four cost $23... - so wondering if they are all defective!  

 

Not sure how to test them to be sure they are working though.  

 

Thanks!

Don't know how you found this, but thanks!  I had checked Ebay several times but it never gave me this seller!

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I toggled my updates off a couple of years back. Since I don't have any CEL activity and the truck runs fine I'm happy to refrain from rolling the dice. I figure they've got it as good as it's gonna get. Recalls are another matter and I will strongly consider those if I get a notice in the mail.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      We'll know soon. But at the end of the day they'll likely not take owner aggravation and costs into consideration. Probably the most important factor to them will be bottom line, along with units sold. Did they make money off sales of AFM/DFM-equipped vehicles? If yes, and the margin was large enough in spite of warranty and recall costs, I don't know that they will consider much else. Aside from government involvement of course, as in EPA and other regulatory bodies.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      HM oils and cleaning. Well, soft deposits yes, perhaps. Like you say esters are present in in theory that should be a plus. But, is there enough? 🤔 The marker is the "Aniline Point" and it has to be pretty low to solve out baked on deposits. The softer sludge, yea, they do that and that is the claim. Valvoline R&P is the only HM oil I know of (Jury is out on Mobil 1's product) whose chemistry is uniquely able to remove the hard stuff and not be so aggressive as to swell seals to uselessness.    Oxidation levels in virgin oils blends is a good indicator of ester level and higher is generally a lower Aniline number and at one time we could predict without the $400 aniline test it's effectiveness. AN's, alkylated naphthalene doesn't show up in the oxidation test but does show in the aniline test and has become sort of a cheaper go to but most oils only add enough to solve the additive package. Not nearly enough to clean the harder carbon materials.   To your second question about does it matter. Yes is the short answer. Deposits are insulative. Those under the piston crown for example add octane requirement for knock free running. We don't' normally notice in todays motors due to Knock sensor driven ignition R-e-t-a-r-d. At least until the full slate of available values is consumed. Newer motors also often use oil jets to cool the piston to achieve tunes that would otherwise not be possible. Deposits on either side subtract from that. Deposits in fine screens used in VVT/VVL or DFM/AFM services live and die on cleanliness and screens are front and center. Vacuum pumps as well like brake booster in the K2's.    90% of todays oils are Group II+/III blends. A few more at PAO/AN/Group II's. A few boutique oils not Walmart shelf materials have enough solvency to prevent but not remove the hard stuff. R & P the current exception. Even HPL's EC30/40 used as directed (20% max) will get the soft stuff and some varnish out but not the hard stuff.    That orange varnish isn't baked on oil. Those are fuel varnishes left when the fuel diluted in the oil drops out when the oil cools. Like sugar does in a saturated mix of sugar and water that is put into the frig. That is ring sticking material and a glue the binds hard carbon sometimes.    Name brand shelf oils are intended to provide a useful service life at the least cost and highest benefit to the OEM who is trying very hard to keep you in $500 a month payment programs where the real money is made.   Did I miss anything you asked or left unsatisfied?

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Yes, I understand. And I was saying (poorly), that it popped up on the DIC when I didn't have that info screen up. Just like you, but for a different maintenance issue. And just like yours mine didn't need to be shown at that time.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Ugh, amateurs.   But I did learn HM seal conditioners are esters.   I'm curious about deposit removal - some of the HM oils claim they really clean stuff up, the old and hard to reach stuff, and that's great? To Grumpy's point, a good oil should already be keeping the house pretty clean. I assume there are hard to reach places (underside of pistons?) and things that just accumulate baked-on oil and combustion vapors. If the deposits aren't friction or combustion surfaces and the deposit is just normal "seasoning", is it actually important to remove it?
