Default 2016 Parking Sensor Problem

I just started having a problem when I put my truck in reverse the chime immediately goes off and it looks like it sensing something on the passenger side, I don't have the sensors on the Taillights, just the 4 on the bumper. There is nothing blocking the sensor. Any idea what I can try to do?

2016 F150 XLT Sport
Not 360 camera equipped
No taillights parking sensors


Here is a picture of what I'm seeing on the backup camera.

From your photo, it appears to be indicating that BLIS is sensing something at the rear passenger side of the truck. It doesn't appear that it's your reverse/parking sensors.

My truck isn't equipped with those

You're talking about the sensors on the Taillights?

Yes, That's what the photo of your display screen seems to be showing. If you don't have BLIS, then either the system is confused or it thinks it's seeing something on the outboard sensor. Have you cleaned that sensor?

Ugh. I made the appointment.

Hate having any problems on a vehicle with 13k miles

I don't have Bliss either. When in my barn, and put it in reverse, I get the same warning. Not concerned about it, it's just doing it's job when an object is close. The system can't tell if your in a parking lot, or your garage.

Never done it in the past 3 months. It does it in a wide open area

I'm sure the dealer will figure it out
