Side blind zone alert - where are the sensors?
Driving to work in the rain today and driver's SBZA going off intermittently. I suspect the sensitivity is affected by the rain.
Does anyone know where the sensors are? Rear quarter near wheel well maybe? |

The manual states that rain will interfere with them for a few miles until the system calibrates for the rain. As far as the sensors I think they may use the same aft sensor as rear cross traffic. So it may be the two dots on the bumper.

Thanks!
Found this, which answers my question: http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-pa...e-warning-scat In case the link goes dead, the backup sensors, rear camera, and lane departure sensors are all in the rear bumper cover. |

I had the same issue first time I drove mine in a hard rain. I took it back to the dealership but I think it took care of itself before I got there. As I understand it the sensors are located behind the rear quarter panel sheet metal about mid way between the tail lights and the door.

My car does it even when it's dry. It's usually within the first 5 minutes. Has to be a software glitch.

The sensor is located inside the quarter panel behind the rear tires, and does rear cross traffic as well.

All this time I thought a drone was following me around with USB connectivity to my driver's mirror

Mine work fine most of the time, occasionally going on in rain or near barriers on the highway. However, during one long trip home at night in pouring rain they were like flashing Christmas lights, so I had to go into the vehicle settings menu and shut them off for the rest of the trip.
