Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Displaying: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Montana, 2003 Oldsmobile Silhouette, and 2003 Chevrolet Venture. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This vehicle is equipped with an on-board diagnostic display feature capable of displaying diagnostic trouble codes using the 3 indicators on the rear parking assist display. After the bulb check has been completed, the red outside indicator flashes to indicate a malfunction with the system. The module disables operation of the URPA system under this condition.

In order to enter the diagnostic mode, complete the following actions:

  1. Short the rear parking assist diagnostic connector to ground while the vehicle is in PARK. Refer to REAR PARKING ASSIST COMPONENT VIEWS   for the location of the rear parking assist diagnostic connector.
  2. Turn the ignition ON.
  3. Place foot on the brake.
  4. Shift the vehicle into REVERSE within 5 seconds.

If the vehicle is not shifted into reverse within 5 seconds after turning the ignition ON, the diagnostic mode will still be initiated.

However, a reverse input wiring fault will be registered as sequence #7 as shown in the Diagnostic Indicator table below. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CLEARING   for the specific steps on how to clear diagnostic trouble codes. After the reverse input wiring code is cleared, repeat the diagnostic trouble code displaying steps in order to enter the diagnostic mode.

When the diagnostic mode is first entered, the rear parking assist display displays the amber outside indicator and the red outside indicator. Then the indicators on the rear parking assist display will display one or more of the sequences in the table below to indicate where the fault exists within the rear parking assist system. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CLEARING   for the specific steps on how to clear diagnostic trouble codes.
