    Possible Sources 

    • Aftermarket parts
    • Damage to the front bumper or sensor
    • Front parking aid sensor
    • PAM

  2. P1 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 parking aid Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded? 

    Yes  For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1B44:98, B1B46:98, B1B48:98 or B1B50:98; GO to  P2 For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1B44:97, B1B46:97, B1B48:97 or B1B50:97; GO to  P3
    For all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) REFER to the DTC Chart in this information. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart 
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time.
  3. P2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR FOR PROPER VENTILATION

    NOTE: The operating temperature range for the parking aid sensors is -40 deg. C (-40 deg. F) to 85 deg. C (176 deg. F).

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

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

    • Check for damage, debris or any aftermarket air dams that may restrict sensor ventilation.

    Is there any damage or aftermarket parts restricting the ventilation to the sensor(s)? 

    Yes  REPAIR or REMOVE the parts as needed.
    No  GO to  P4
  4. P3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR FOR AN OBSTRUCTION

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

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

    • Check for damage, debris or any aftermarket air dams that may restrict sensor operation.

    Is there any damage or aftermarket parts obstructing the sensor(s)? 

    Yes  REPAIR or REMOVE the parts as needed.
    No  GO to  P4
  5. P4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Ignition ON.

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

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  GO to  P5
    No  The cause of the concern was an inoperative parking aid sensor. The system is now operating correctly.
  6. P5 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.
