Pinpoint Test H : The Active Park Assist System Does Not Activate When The Active Park Assist Switch Is Pressed

  1. Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    To activate, the active park assist system relies on several messaged inputs and driver input through the active park assist switch. REFER to: Parking Aid - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    IPMB B129E:13 Enable/Disable Switch - Semi-automatic Advanced Parallel Park: Circuit Open A continuous DTC that sets in the IPMB when the IPMB detects a stuck open in the active park assist switch input circuit.
    IPMB B129E:9E Enable/Disable Switch - Semi-automatic Advanced Parallel Park: Stuck On A continuous DTC that sets in the IPMB when the IPMB detects a short to ground in the active park assist switch input circuit.

    Possible Sources 

    • Communication network concern
    • GWM concern
    • Active park assist switch (integral to the Front Controls Interface Module B (FICMB)
    • IPMB

  2. H1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN

    • Ignition ON.

    • Verify the operation of the active park assist system.

    Does the active park assist system operate correctly? 

    Yes  CLEAR the DTC. The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by high network traffic or the driver's perception of how the active park assist system operate. REFER to the Owner's Literature.
    No  GO to  H2
  3. H2 CHECK THE IPMB (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE B) MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

      Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms with the switch pressed and greater than 10, 000 ohms with the switch released? 

    Yes  GO to  H9
    No  INSTALL a new drive mode switch.
  8. H7 PERFORM A NETWORK TEST

    • Ignition ON.

    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform a network test.

    Does the ATCM pass the network test? 

    Yes  GO to  H8
    No  REFER to: Communications Network .
  9. H8 CHECK THE ATCM (ALL TERRAIN CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

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

    Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present? 

    Yes  REFER to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .
    No  GO to  H9
  10. H9 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.
