Pinpoint Test J: B1B36:96, B1B38:96, B1B40:96, B1B42:96
- J1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PAM self-test.
- Check the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are parking aid Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) other than B1B36:96, B1B38:96, B1B40:96 or B1B42:96 recorded?
Yes For all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) REFER to the DTC Chart in this Article No GO to J2 - J2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLENOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.
- Clean the front bumper and sensors with high-pressure water.
- Make sure the suspect parking aid sensor(s) is flush-mounted in the bezel.
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LFI_DIST, LFO_DIST, RFI_DIST, RFO_DIST). The PID reads 2, 540 mm (100 in) on a correctly functioning sensor.
Does the PID read 2, 540 mm (100 in)?
Yes GO to J3 No GO to J4 - J3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH A TEST OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLENOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LFI_DIST, LFO_DIST, RFI_DIST, RFO_DIST).
- While monitoring the Parameter Identifications (PIDs), move a test object into and out of the detection zone behind each sensor. For an example of a test object, REFER to: Azimuth System Check
Does the PID approximately match the distance from the test object to the front bumper of the vehicle?
Yes GO to J5 No GO to J4 - J4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS
- Ignition OFF.
- Install a new sensor for the suspect parking aid sensor. REFER to: Front Parking Aid Sensor
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Repeat the self-test. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes GO to J5 No The cause of the concern was an inoperative parking aid sensor. The system is now operating correctly. - J5 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM and related in-line 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 and related in-line 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 TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSB addresses this concern, A guided routine is not applicable for this vehicle and market. Replace the component that was faulted through diagnosis. 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.
