My car was fine, it got washed and later in the even i went to start it, ( ibhave the push start suzuki vitara glx 2018) it wouldnt start but it says place fob on start, once i do so the ignition turns on and the car starts beeping and displays a message clean parking sensors, service parking sensors , service esp.

I clean the sensors with a soft cloth and no change. I know nothing about cars can anyone help?

did you use a pressure washer to clean the car?
you have managed to fill the sensors with water somehow and they are failing self test. It may come right after a day or so but this may be a dealer repair.

You have probably flooded the comms line or grounded the 5vdc reference circuit. You will need a Live Data Scanner, a scope and a breakout box.. Or, find a good reputable diagnostician..

I agree with Philip, water in the system somewhere has shorted something.

if car has been sitting for 24 hours or more, you will need a lot of pressure on the brake pedal to activate the switch to allow it to start. This is a known issue if the vacuum has bled out of the brake booster

Well i am having the exact same problem.

The car wasn't washed yesterday when i drove it. But the car has a lot of morning dew on it from being out overnight. Apart from that, i am having the exact same issue. How was the above problem finally resolved. Anyone ?

As for me, i am waiting on my Roadside Help guys to return my call as its not a 24hr service during our lockdown. Then presumably once its started i have to take it in for an emergency service of the ESP system.
