The Parking Aid Module (PAM) sends and receives network messages over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) from the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) (part of the steering column). A fault condition occurs when the PSCM does not send an acknowledge exit message to the PAM indicating the EPAS system has exited the active park assist maneuvers.
This fault occurs while the operator is using the active park assist system and the system has control of the steering. During the failure, the operator should see the Instrument Cluster (IC) message center message "ACTIVE PARK FAULT" followed by an audible chime.
