WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. A1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE PARKING AID MODULE (PAM) SELF-TEST 
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the Parking Aid Module (PAM) self-test.
    • Check the Parking Aid Module (PAM) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the self-test.

    Are multiple front parking aid sensor Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? 

    • Yes  : GO to A2 
    • No  : For DTC B129C:12 or B129D:12, GO to  A3

      For all other Parking Aid Module (PAM) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs),

      REFER to: PARKING AID .

  2. A2 CHECK THE FRONT BUMPER WIRING HARNESS 
    • Inspect the front bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds or corrosion.

    Is the front bumper wiring harness OK? 

    • Yes  : GO to A3 
    • No  : REPAIR or INSTALL a new front bumper wiring harness.
  3. A3 CHECK THE SENSOR SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.

      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1607-2  VOLTAGE Ground
    • For DTC B129D:12, measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1608-2  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes  : REPAIR the circuit.
    • No  : GO to A4 
  4. A4 CHECK THE SENSOR VOLTAGE SUPPLY AND SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • For DTC B129C:12, measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1607-2  OHM C1607-1 
    • For DTC B129D:12, measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C1608-2  OHM C1608-1 

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    • Yes  : GO to A5 
    • No  : REPAIR the affected circuits.
  5. A5 CHECK THE ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SENSOR 
    • Connect BCM C2280C  .
    • Install a known good active park assist sensor for the suspect sensor.

      REFER to: FRONT ACTIVE PARK ASSIST SENSORS .

    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Parking Aid Module (PAM) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
    • Perform the Parking Aid Module (PAM) self-test.

    Is DTC B129C:12 or B129D:12 still present? 

  6. A6 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new BCM.

      REFER to: BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) .

    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
