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 
    • Using a scan tool, perform the PAM  self-tests.

    Are multiple DTCs recorded? 

    • Yes  : GO to C2  .
    • No  : GO to  C3.
  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.
  3. C3 CHECK THE REAR SENSOR CIRCUITRY FOR SHORTS TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Suspect Parking Aid Sensor C4009  , C4010  , C4011  and/or C4012  .
    • Disconnect: PAM C4014  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      DTC B1B44:12     
      C4011-2  VMP17 (YE/OG) - Ground
      DTC B1B46:12     
      C4012-2  VMP16 (YE/GY) - Ground
      DTC B1B48:12     
      C4009-2  VMP15 (YE/GN) - Ground
      DTC B1B50:12

    Is any voltage present? 

    • Yes  : REPAIR the circuit in question.
    • No  : If all sensor DTCs are set, GO to  C5.

      Otherwise, 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).
    • Using a scan tool, clear the DTCs. Repeat the self-test.
    • Test the system for normal operation.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : GO to C5  .
    • No  : 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 .
  5. C5 CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect and inspect the PAM  connector.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the PAM  connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : CHECK OASIS  for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new PAM  . REFER to PARKING AID MODULE (PAM) .
    • No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
