    REFER to: Parking Aid - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    PAM B13F3:08 Left Rear Side Sensor: Bus Signal/Message Failures A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when there is a message failure on the LIN for the LHR side sensor.
    PAM B13F3:31 Left Rear Side Sensor: No Signal A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when no signal is received on the LIN for the LHR side sensor.
    PAM B13F3:64 Left Rear Side Sensor: Signal Plausibility Failure A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when there is no response from the LHR side sensor.

    Yes  GO to  C2
    No  * For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B13F3:08, B13F3:31 or B13F3:64 GO to  C3
    * For all other PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), REFER to the appropriate PAM DTC Chart.

  3. C2 CHECK THE REAR BUMPER WIRING HARNESS

    • Inspect the rear bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds or corrosion.

    Is the rear bumper wiring harness OK? 

    Yes  GO to  C3
    No  REPAIR or INSTALL a new rear bumper wiring harness.

  4. C3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE SENSOR

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect left rear side sensor C4420.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      		 C4420-3

    Is the voltage greater than 9 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  C5
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  6. C5 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4420-2
      GFD590570Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  C6
    No  REPAIR the circuit.

  7. C6 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO POWER

    • Disconnect PAM C4226A.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4420-2
      GFD590569Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes  REPAIR the affected circuits.
    No  GO to  C7

  8. C7 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO VREF OR SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUITS

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4420-2
      GFD590570Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C4420-1
      C4420-2
      GFD590570Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      		 C4420-3

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  C8
    No  REPAIR the affected circuits.

  9. C8 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  C9
    No  REPAIR the affected circuit.

  10. C9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR

    • Connect PAM C4226A.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the self-test.

    Is DTC B13F3:08, B13F3:31 or B13F3:64 still present? 

    Yes  GO to  C10
    No  INSTALL a new left rear side sensor for the one in question. REFER to: Rear Active Park Assist Sensors 

  11. C10 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.
