Ultrasonic parking sensor replacement problem

[OpticalBoffin]

I have just had to replace a front ultrasonic parking sensor which was damaged but not only did I have to replace the sensor itself but the connector as well. I found both parts on Ebay but I still get an error message that the sensor isn't working. Looking at the wiring I can see that the 6 front parking sensors don't have individual connections but instead are all connected to the same LIN Bus line. My question is how does the vehicle know which sensor is which? I can see that the ultrasonic parking sensor connectors are different colours so do I need a specific connector for the sensor in that position or does the sensor need to be coded to the vehicle by the dealer?

You may need to have them calibrated at the dealer.

I found this Hyundai tech to be replacing a sensor in the GV60, might be worth a watch? GV60 Parking sensor replacement

Hi, just wondering how easy was it to replace a sensor. My front passenger side sensor has been damaged (I suspect by stone damage) and they want $700 to do it. I want to do it myself and save the $500 labour's cost.
