There are a number of phone apps which let you listen to ultrasonic sounds (such as bats) but are also useful for properly listening to your Ultrasonic sensors. This will identify which one(s) have stopped working.

The most common reason for their stopping is being jet-washed. I bought a RRS with the sensors working fine, jet-washed it and then they (one) didn't! The sensors are cheap enough and fairly easy to fit.

It could also just be corrosion on the connectors (if you've not jet washed it) - again easy to unplug, spray with contact cleaner, grease & put back together. The grease (general purpose, not Lithium or Moly as they are conductive!) is because the rubber seals degrade over time. Just gives it a bit more protection from the elements.
