He's talking about the sensors on the rear bumper that tell you how close to an object you are while backing up.

Well the sensors and the button are obviously wired into the same circuit as something that is triggered when yo put it in reverse (assume the back up lights) so you probably have a short somewhere in that system but that's the best I can offer.
