Pinpoint Test E : B1B44:96, B1B46:96, B1B48:96, B1B50:96
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- E1 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 DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) from the self-test.
Are parking aid DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) other than B1B44:96, B1B46:96, B1B48:96 or B1B50:96 recorded?
Yes For all other DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) REFER to the PAM DTC Chart No GO to E2 - E2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH NO OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLENOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.
- Clean the rear 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 PID (LRI_DIST, LRO_DIST, RRI_DIST, RRO_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 E3 No GO to E4 - E3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH A TEST OBJECT BEHIND 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 PID (LRI_DIST, LRO_DIST, RRI_DIST, RRO_DIST).
- While monitoring the PID 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 rear bumper of the vehicle?
Yes GO to E5 No GO to E4 - E4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS
- Ignition OFF.
- Install a known good sensor for the suspect parking aid sensor. REFER to: Rear Parking Aid Sensor .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) and repeat the PAM self-test.
- Check the PAM DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes).
Is the concern still present?
Yes GO to E5 No INSTALL a new rear parking aid sensor. REFER to: Rear Parking Aid Sensor . - E5 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 TSB. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no TSB addresses this concern, Refer to BCM GUIDED ROUTINE . . 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.
