DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC	Description	Fault Trigger Condition
PAM B1B46:08	Right Rear Inner 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 RHR inner parking aid sensor.
PAM B1B46:31	Right Rear Inner Sensor: No Signal	A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when no signal is received on the LIN for the RHR inner parking aid sensor.
PAM B1B46:1F	Right Rear Inner Sensor: Circuit Intermittent	A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when an intermittent fault is detected on the LIN for the RHR inner parking aid sensor.
PAM B1B46:64	Right Rear Inner Sensor: Signal Plausibility Failure	A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when there is no response from the RHR inner parking aid sensor.

G1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PAM self-test.

Check the parking aid Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from the self-test.

Are Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for multiple rear parking aid sensors recorded?

Yes

GO to G2

No	* For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1B46:08, B1B46:31, B1B46:1F or B1B46:64 GO to G3 * For all other PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), REFER to the PAM DTC Chart in this information. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart

G9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR
- Connect PAM C4226A.
- Install a known good sensor for the suspect RHR inner parking aid sensor. REFER to: Rear Parking Aid Sensor
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the self-test.
Is DTC B1B46:08, B1B46:31, B1B46:1F or B1B46:64 still present?

Yes GO to G10

No INSTALL a new RHR outer parking aid sensor. REFER to: Rear Parking Aid Sensor

G10 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.
