Pinpoint Test D : DTC B1B44:96, B1B46:96, B1B48:96 Or B1B50:96

  1. D1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND PAM SELF-TESTS

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

    Are parking aid DTCs other than B1B44:96, B1B46:96, B1B48:96 or B1B50:96 recorded? 

    Yes  DIAGNOSE the other DTCs first. REFER to DTC Charts  in this information.
    No  GO to  D2.
  2. D2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR OPERATION

    NOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that might activate the parking aid system.

    • Clean the bumper and sensors with high-pressure water.

    Does the parking aid system pass both system checks? 

    Yes  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a dirty or blocked parking aid sensor.
    No  GO to  D3.
  3. D3 CHECK THE REAR PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PIDs

    • Make sure the suspect parking aid sensor(s) is flush-mounted in the bezel.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Parking Aid PID.

    • With the brake pedal applied, shift the transmission into REVERSE (R) and monitor the parking aid sensor distance PID. The PID reads 255 cm (8.4 ft) on a correctly functioning sensor.

    Does the PID read 255 cm (8.4 ft)? 

    Yes  GO to  D4.
    No  GO to  D5.
  4. D4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR ATTENUATION PIDs

    • Check the parking aid sensor attenuation PIDs.

    Do all of the attenuation PIDs read between 0 and 16 ms? 

    Yes  GO to  D6.
    No  GO to  D5.
  5. D5 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR

    • Install a known good sensor for the suspect parking aid sensor.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a scan tool, clear the DTCs. Repeat the self-test. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  GO to  D6.
    No  INSTALL a new parking aid sensor. REFER to Parking Aid Sensor .
  6. D6 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.
