PINPOINT TEST C: DTCs B1B44:12, B1B46:12, B1B48:12 AND B1B50:12

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. C1 RETRIEVE THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PAM SELF-TESTS 
    • Check the recorded PAM DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
    • Are multiple DTCs recorded? 
    • Yes  : GO to C2.
    • No  : For DTCs B1B44:12, B1B46:12, B1B48:12 and B1B50:12, GO to  C3.

      For all others, REFER to DTC CHARTS  .

  2. C2 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 C3.
    • No  : REPAIR or INSTALL a new bumper wiring harness. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  3. C3 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR SHORTS TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Parking Aid Sensor C4009, C4010, C4011 and C4012.
    • Disconnect: PAM C4014.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between the suspect parking aid sensor pin 2, harness side and ground as follows:
      DTC Rear Sensor Connector-Pin Circuit
      B1B44:12 RH outer C4011-2 VMP17 (YE/OG)
      B1B46:12 RH inner C4012-2 VMP16 (YE/GY)
      B1B48:12 LH outer C4009-2 VMP15 (YE/GN)
      B1B50:12 LH inner C4010-2 VMP14 (WH/OG)

    • Is any voltage present? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
    • No  : GO to C4.
  4. C4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS 
    • Install a known good parking aid sensor(s) for each of the suspect parking aid sensor(s).
    • Clear the DTCs. Repeat the self-test.
    • Test the system for normal operation.
    • Is the concern still present? 
    • Yes  : If all the parking aid sensors recorded DTCs prior, GO to C5.

      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. TEST the system for normal operation.

    • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system for normal operation.
  5. C5 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.
