PINPOINT TEST B: DTCs B1B44:01, 96 B1B46:01, 96 B1B48:01, 96 B1B50:01, 96

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. B1 RETRIEVE THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PAM SELF-TESTS 
    • Check the PAM  DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are multiple DTCs recorded? 
    • Yes  : GO to B2.
    • No  : For DTCs B1B44:01, B1B44:96, B1B46:01, B1B46:96, B1B48:01, B1B48:96, B1B50:01 or B1B50:96, GO to  B3.

      For all other DTCs, REFER to DTC CHARTS .

  2. B2 CHECK THE BUMPER WIRING HARNESS 
    • Inspect the bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds, or corrosion.
    • Is the bumper wiring harness OK? 
    • Yes  : GO to B3.
    • No  : REPAIR or INSTALL a new bumper wiring harness. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. B3 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR OPENS 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Parking Aid Sensor C4009, C4010, C4011 or C4012.
    • Disconnect: PAM  C3267.
    • Measure the resistance between the PAM  C3267, harness side and the suspect parking aid sensor, harness side as follows:

    • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to B4.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  4. B4 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR SHORTS TO GROUND 
    • Measure the resistance between the suspect parking aid sensor, harness side and ground as follows:

      B1B50:01, 96 LH inner C4010-1 VMP14 (WH/OG)
    • Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to B5.
    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  5. B5 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR SHORTS TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the suspect parking aid sensor, harness side and ground as follows:

    • Is the voltage greater than 8 volts? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : If all of the parking aid sensors recorded DTCs, GO to B6.

      If one or more parking aid sensor(s) recorded DTCs, INSTALL a new sensor(s) for the one in question. REFER to PARKING AID SENSOR . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.

  6. B6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect the PAM  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the PAM  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : INSTALL a new PAM  . REFER to PARKING AID MODULE (PAM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
