Description
Parking sensor for CITROËN and PEUGEOT vehicles and other models in the group
The sealing rubber may not be included
Part description
Used Citroën Peugeot PDC parking sensor with part numbers 9813348377 and 1633559380 is designed for the parking assistance system. This type of sensor helps detect obstacles while parking and sends information to the system, which alerts the driver to them. Replacing a faulty sensor may restore proper operation of the parking assistant if the sensor itself is the cause of the fault.
The part is listed in the documentation for the Citroën Berlingo K9, FIAT DOBLO III, OPEL COMBO E K9, PEUGEOT RIFTER and Toyota ProAce City models. When selecting a part, compare the part number, connector and mounting design with the original sensor in particular; the model name alone is not a sufficient guide. This used part offers a cost-effective repair option without replacing the entire parking system.

Installation recommendations
The following procedure is general guidance for PDC parking sensors. Access to the sensor, how to release its holder and any system adjustments depend on the specific model and vehicle configuration. Follow the manufacturer’s service procedure.
1) Before installation
- Verify that the sensor is actually causing the fault, rather than damaged wiring, a connector or another part of the parking system. Use suitable diagnostic equipment if necessary.
- Compare the product numbers, body shape, connector, connector keying and locking features with the old part.
- Inspect the used part: it must not have an obviously cracked body, damaged contacts or a deformed mount.
- Check for the sealing rubber and inspect its condition. It may not be included in the delivery. Reuse the original only if it is suitable, flexible and undamaged.
2) Tools and materials required
- Standard hand tools suitable for the fasteners used on the specific vehicle.
- Plastic trim removal tools for gently releasing covers and clips.
- A soft cloth and a cleaner suitable for the relevant surfaces; electrical contact cleaner if needed.
- Suitable automotive diagnostic equipment for identifying the fault and subsequently checking operation.
- An appropriate undamaged seal, if required for the specific configuration.
3) Step-by-step installation procedure
- Park the vehicle safely, secure it against movement and switch off the ignition.
- Prepare the vehicle’s electrical system for work in accordance with its service procedure; disconnect the battery if required, following the prescribed method.
- Gain access to the sensor using the procedure specified for the vehicle. If surrounding parts need to be removed, protect their surfaces and clips from damage.
- Before removal, note the sensor’s orientation, how it is seated and the routing of the wiring.
- Release the connector lock and carefully disconnect the connector. Do not pull on the wires.
- Release the holder’s locking features and remove the original sensor without forcing it out.
- Inspect the holder, mating surfaces, seal and wiring. Remove any dirt and address any damage before fitting the replacement part.
- Compare the two sensors side by side. Prepare a suitable sealing rubber if required for the specific configuration.
- Position the replacement sensor in the correct orientation and secure it in the holder. The seal must not be pinched, and the sensor must not be left loose.
- Connect the connector until it is properly locked, and route the wiring so it is not stretched, pinched or exposed to abrasion.
- Reinstall the removed parts, restore the power supply according to the manufacturer’s procedure and check the system’s operation.
4) Post-installation checks and function verification
- Check that the sensor is securely seated, the seal is correctly positioned and the connector is locked.
- Activate the parking system as prescribed for the vehicle and watch for any fault message or continuous false alerts.
- Check operation in a safe area using a clearly visible, non-living obstacle. Do not rely solely on the parking assistant, and do not use a person as a test obstacle.
- If the fault persists, check the diagnostics, wiring and other system components. Replacing the sensor alone may not resolve a fault originating elsewhere.
5) Common installation mistakes and how to avoid them
- Choosing based on appearance alone: also compare the designation, connector and mounting.
- Missing or damaged seal: before fitting, check whether the specific configuration requires one and make sure it is seated correctly.
- Forcing the sensor into the holder: first check its orientation and the condition of the clips.
- Connector not fully engaged or wires pinched: perform a visual check and gently verify that the connector is locked before closing up the access area.
- Active surface covered with paint or dirt: keep the surface clean and apply any surface treatment only as instructed by the manufacturer.
Reasons why the part may be damaged
For parking sensors in general, common causes of damage or malfunction include:
- Mechanical impact while parking or from a stone, damaging the sensor body or active surface.
- Moisture and contact corrosion due to a damaged seal or connector.
- Damaged holder or incorrect seating, causing the sensor not to remain in the correct position.
- Strained wiring, broken wires or a loose connection, which may mimic a fault in the sensor itself.
- Dirt, ice or an unsuitable layer of paint on the active surface, which may impair detection even without permanently damaging the sensor.
- Careless removal and cleaning, especially levering against the sensor body or directing a high-pressure jet at it from very close range.
