How do I tell WHICH sensor needs to be replaced? If I replace one of the sensors, do I need to somehow 'reset' the system to turn off the error msg?

I don't know how to determine which sensor is bad. I had asked the technician at Belle Tire to look into it for me. They told me the far left hand part was bad so I took one off another vehicle and it fixed the problem right away. It only takes about 5 seconds to remove the part and replace it. Both the housing snap-in features and harness connectors are very easy to disengage and snap back together. The first part I ordered was defective. They sent a new one immediately... very responsive. Did not have to reset.

i paid the fee for a diagnostic at the dealership and i installed my own sensor.

Have someone get in the truck and put it in reverse with the brake on. If you wave your hand in front of a working sensor it will beep. The one that doesn't register your hand is the broken one.

I had my mechanic diagnose which sensor was defective. Replaced it with the one from Amazon. Still not working. Mechanic checked the new sensor and it is defective. I'm stuck with a paperweight.

Did you try pressing the "-" icon on top? You may need to do it a few times. Other than that you may be right that the sensor is the problem. Contact the company if the problem continues.

No you will need to take the negative battery cable off for 5 minutes if that doesn't work you have fault in a sensor

The sensor assembly is not repairable only because the internal components can't be obtained. But the sensor as a complete assembly can be used as a direct replacement for a failed sensor assembly. Just shut off power to the entire unit, disconnect the wiring inside the dual lampholder that is connceted to the sensor assembly, unscrew the sensor assemblyand remove it then install the replacement sensor using a reverse of the removal procedure.

Do not need new sensors IF the brake light has not already gone on warning you the brakes should be replaced. If it has, need to replace sensors.

You need a code reader to determine which one is bad. I believe there are a total of three O2 sensors.

Paul here. Verify your splice connection with OHM meter. if you get the error after the vehicle has run for a short time it is most likely a heater circuit fault. Exchange the sensor. I had the same problem with one on my Audi & replaced the universal unit with a OEM sensor. My universal unit failed after several miles.

Make sure bits of paper arent clinging or stuck in a place such that they would prevent the sensor from sensing. If u are handy. take the cover off and make sure a wire hasnt come loose or anything gone awry. If so, fix it! But most likely ur unit needs to be replaced or repaired by a Service Tech. I'm assuming its out of warranty - if not contace Royal. I had a small problem when mine was new and the resolved it over the phone.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

I've never had to reset the outdoor sensor, but the easiest way would be to remove the battery for about a minute, then replace it. If the base unit shows no reading from the sensor, don't forget that the system will handle more than one sensor. While you have removed the battery, check the little switch inside to see what channel it's on, then set the base unit accordingly. The instruction manual covers this.

Not that I am aware of. There is no sensor. You just replace it when you think it needs it. I normally go 3-4 months between replacing 1.

The system is armed, not specific sensors. What you could do is remove specific sensors from the sensor & add it back later, but takes a bit of effort.

If one of sensor run off battery, console will alert you by a text message and shows a icon on the LCD screen, if one sensor lost communication or not work, it will not affect entire system, all other sensors and console still work as normal.

I'm almost sure that the photo sensor has failed, photo sensors are available on amazon. Almost anything can be taken apart. Match up the existing failed photo sensor to one sold on amazon and install in the reverse order of removal. Good luck.

Same thing happens to mt sensors. I'm disappointed with this purchase especially since it costed quite a bit for them to be installed.

Often you have to go through a descale process. Look in the manual and try that. It will often clean a sensor and maybe get it going again. The process is a combination of distilled vinegar and water etc...

Restart the device if you haven't tried already, that usually helps programs respond (, on a good day lol), if that doesn't work the devices internal sensor may need repair/check for recalibration.
