F1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) SELF-TEST

Ignition ON.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPMA 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 F2

No	* For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1B46:08 GO to F3 * For all other IPMA Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), REFER to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .

F2 CHECK THE REAR BUMPER WIRING HARNESS
- Inspect the rear bumper wiring harness for opens, shorts, grounds or corrosion.
Is the rear bumper wiring harness OK?

Yes GO to F3

No REPAIR or INSTALL a new rear bumper wiring harness.

F3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE SENSOR

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect RHR inner parking aid sensor C4012.

Ignition ON.

Yes

GO to F9

No	REPAIR the affected circuit.

F9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR
- Connect IPMA C4242A.
- 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 IPMA Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and repeat the self-test.
Is DTC B1B46:08 still present?

Yes GO to F10

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

F10 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect all IPMA 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 IPMA 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 IPMA. REFER to: Image Processing Module A (IPMA) .

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.
