I have a tradesman with rear parking sensors only. I added aftermarket LED fog lights using all OEM components with no sensor positions. The strange thing is, in reverse if you get the nose of the truck close to something (turning while backing) it still detects the front potential impact. What sensors are used for this? I have been all through the truck and cannot find any other sensors that would see this? I think it is a great feature, many people don't watch their nose swing when backing so it good to have... but what is it using? just interesting to find hidden tech all over!

im trying to think about it. I think it does when moving slow in drive, I have a bush in the neighbors yard (hanging over the curb) that I have to get within inches of when pulling my travel trailer out, I believe it does alarm, ill have to try to verify though. It does for sure in reverse. my dads house has a berm on the drivers side, with the rear sensors off, if I moved the nose towards the berm it beeped (tail away from the berm). but thinking about it, when I eas leaving from there, it didn't complain...
The first time I heard it I thought it was just an anomaly, but then I was able to repeat it, in reverse it will alert me if my dog walks past the front corners of the truck too close.
I installed the fog light plastics, Id know if there were sensors in there
the only wiring going to them is my fog light wiring. ill climb back under the front bumper and look deeper for sensors, maybe built into something like the blindspot sensors?Ghost sensor. HahaI installed the fog light plastics, Id know if there were sensors in there
