I have had my Genesis for a little over 2 months. This issue started about 4 days after I bought it, Then went away about 3 weeks later by itself. Now its back since 5 days ago

When I start the car, the icon appears and beeps 3 times then goes away while driving. It comes back when I slow down to about 10 MPH and beeps 3 times. The icon stays till I drive off again. This continues to happen and can replicate every time. Where should I begin to troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help

I finally had time to diagnose the issue the other day. The front right inner sensor is not working. I checked wiring and seems good. I ordered a new sensor. I will update after new sensor installed.
 
I'm having the same issues with my front sensors on the same side. Getting ghost readings. Thanks for taking the time to do the diagnosis. Do you by chance have the part #s?

This is for the right inner sensor. I do not know if the same parts # is the same for all the front sensors

The way I did the troubleshooting was I asked my wife to stand by the front corners off to the side of the car while I had the car in drive with the brakes on. I then asked her to lean over and cover each sensor with her hand individually. Thats how we found out the one sensor was not working.
 
I received the sensor the other day. I installed it yesterday. Same issue. I now believe its not a sensor issue. It could be in the wiring or some sort of module. Im trying to figure out where to start troubleshooting now.
