H9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR
- Connect PAM C4226B.
- Install a known good sensor for the suspect right front inner parking aid sensor. REFER to: Front Parking Aid Sensor .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the self-test.
Is DTC B1B38:08, B1B38:31 or B1B38:1F still present?

Yes GO to H10

No INSTALL a new right front inner parking aid sensor. REFER to: Front Parking Aid Sensor .

H10 CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all PAM 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 PAM 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 service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new PAM. REFER to: Parking Assist Control Module (PAM) .

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