That’s good to know that other systems can use those sensors. I assume where they do not register objects as you’re backing out that they were just not active.
I know mine sees objects just fine when backing up and I don't have active park so not sure what you're experiencing here. You might have a feature turned off in vehicle settings.
No this is a limitation of the 22s that don’t have park assist. My 2021 had sensors active all around. Front, Back, and sides. The 22 only has them active on the front and back.
Do you have 360 camera addon, I think that's a thing on GTs? I feel like the sensors are more tied to that... no one has mentioned losing active park assist took away a bunch of the sensors that assist with normal parking. Everyone said it just removes the actual "active" park assist feature, where the car parks itself and is near useless.
I do have the 360 camera. The side sensors are there, they are just not active. If you look at this YouTube video you see those orange lines that show up on the side of the car? I don’t get those. I just get them on the front and back.
Interesting, once in a while I get the orange line but I don't have those dotted yellow lines.I do have the 360 camera. The side sensors are there, they are just not active.

My husband has a 2021 with everything active, I have a 2022 with the limited sensors. He gets the orange lines on the sides, I dont. Unless there's something else I'm missing the lack of park assist hardware is the reason for that. The actual sensors on the bumpers are the same.
Yes, like others have said, this is a park assist thing and not a lack of sensors. They are there and fully functional. Its park assists software that show those lines. Park assist is using the 360 camera for line detection and shows that in the user interface and not any type of sensor.
The sensors may be “functional” but if the data isn’t being displayed on the screen or audibly over the speakers (which it isn’t) then are they really functional?
Wow, that's a total bummer! I've never seen anyone report this as everyone has said you just lose the feature where the car parks itself, I didn't know you actually lose some items, that's a bummer. I use it all the time when parking in my garage, especially now with the rain and I might not be able to see cleanly out of my side mirror, the car let's me know if I'm too close.@AlanJ @Ghost Ryder @Neil4Real @Just Lurking Here is my husbands red 2021 Premium J2 vs my 2022 GT J2. Same number of physical sensors. My husbands car shows orange and red lines on the sides of the car, like in the pic below. If you look at the attached video my car does not display or audibly alert for those side sensors. We can debate whether those sensors are powered on or not, but in the end they are not functioning as parking sensors.
Correct, the side sensors are present but not functional. Therefore you won't see the orange lines on the sides without Park Assist. Essentially the side sensors aren't hooked up to the ultrasonic board because they couldn't get the version that supports side sensors due to shortages.
Thank you. That is what I’ve been trying to explain to everyone. Whatever part was removed during the part shortage impacts those side sensors, which makes sense why park assist wouldn’t work.
I would be curious if the side sensors are active on 2023s, even though they don’t have park assist. @Mach-E VLOG can you see if you get the lines on the side of the car when backing up?
