Parking and Back-Up Sensor Control Unit Input Test (2017 2018 2019 2020)

NOTE: 

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the parking and back-up sensor control unit 16P connector.

3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

4. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
5 BLK Vehicle ON mode,
and parking and back-up sensor switch ON
Connect to ground with a jumper wire:
The parking and back-up sensor switch indicator should come on.
  • Faulty LED
  • Faulty parking and back-up sensor switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
7 YEL Disconnect the left front corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 7 and left front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 6:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 7 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire
13 GRN Disconnect the left front corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 13 and left front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 2:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 13 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire
6 PUR Disconnect the left front corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 6 and left front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 6 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire
16 PUR Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 16 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 6:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 16 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire
12 TAN Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 12 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 2:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 12 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire
14 LT BLU Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector Check for continuity between terminal No. 14 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4:
There should be continuity.
An open or high resistance in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal No. 14 and body ground:
There should be no continuity.
A short to ground in the wire

5. Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

Cavity Wire Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
8 GRN Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be battery voltage.
An open or high resistance in the wire
4 BRN In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G507)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
15 YEL Vehicle ON mode,
and parking and back-up sensor switch ON
Measure the voltage to ground:
There should be battery voltage.
  • Faulty parking and back-up sensor switch
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
