Hello all,
2003 Expedition EB..I had the driver's side brake line replaced yesterday. Drove home and later got in to go to a football game. When I shifted to reverse, the message center came up with "Check Backup Aid". This was the first time since the line replacement that I had used reverse. Could it be tied somehow to the replacement of the brake line? Or just coinkydink? Thanks for reading.......

Jim

the sensor is probably dirty just clean your bumper.

Thank you for replying. I cleaned off the back bumper but issue still remains. No big deal, but I'm curious to know if the brake line install had anything to do with it. Thanks again.

From afar - i’d bet the mechanic damaged the wiring harness and/or sensor.

Thank you for your reply...That's what I was thinking and like I stated, it's not a big deal More curious than anything and I am going to take a closer look and see if I can figure out what's up. Thanks again...

Check message center to see if sensor is on or off

Thank you Sarge for your reply....the sensor is indeed on and has been working fine for the past month or so with no glitches. Must have been a burp in the system or something, but so far so good. Thank you againg for your suggestion.
