D9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR
- Connect IPMB C3676B.
- Install a known good sensor for the suspect right rear active park assist sensor. REFER to: Rear Active Park Assist Sensors .
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the IPMB Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the self-test.
Is DTC B13F3:08 still present?

Yes GO to D10

No INSTALL a new right rear active park assist sensor for the one in question. REFER to: Rear Active Park Assist Sensors .

D10 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPMB (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE B) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all IPMB 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 IPMB 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 IPMB. REFER to: Image Processing Module B (IPMB) .

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.
