    Refer to Wiring Diagrams PARKING AID for schematic and connector information.

    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    REFER to: Parking Aid - System Operation and Component Description .

    DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

    DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
    PAM B1B46:08 Right Rear Inner Sensor: Bus Signal/Message Failures A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when there is a message failure on the LIN for the RHR inner parking aid sensor.
    PAM B1B46:31 Right Rear Inner Sensor: No Signal A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when no signal is received on the LIN for the RHR inner parking aid sensor.
    PAM B1B46:1F Right Rear Inner Sensor: Circuit Intermittent A continuous and on-demand DTC that sets in the PAM when an intermittent fault is detected on the LIN for the RHR inner parking aid sensor.

    Possible Sources 

    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    • RHR inner parking aid sensor

    Yes  GO to  I2
    No  * For Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B1B46:08, B1B46:31 or B1B46:1F GO to  I3
    * For all other PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .
  3. I2 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  I3
    No  REPAIR or INSTALL a new rear bumper wiring harness.
  4. I3 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE SENSOR

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect RHR inner parking aid sensor C4012.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4012-1

      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 9 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  I4
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  5. I4 CHECK FOR GROUND AT THE SENSOR

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4012-1
      GFD567679Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C4012-3

    Is the voltage greater than 9 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  I5
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  6. I5 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO POWER

    • Disconnect PAM C9071A.

    • Ignition ON.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4012-2
      GFD567679Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes  REPAIR the affected circuits.
    No  GO to  I6
  7. I6 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4012-2
      GFD567678Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      Ground

    Is the resistance greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  I7
    No  REPAIR the circuit.
  8. I7 CHECK THE SENSOR FOR A SHORT TO VREF OR SIGNAL RETURN CIRCUITS

    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead
      C4012-2
      GFD567678Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C4012-1
      C4012-2
      GFD567678Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY
      C4012-3

    Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  I8
    No  REPAIR the affected circuits.
  9. I8 CHECK THE SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  I9
    No  REPAIR the affected circuit.
  10. I9 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR

    • Connect PAM C9071A.

    • Ignition ON.

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

    Is DTC B1B46:08, B1B46:31 or B1B46:1F still present? 

    Yes  GO to  I10
    No  INSTALL a new RHR inner parking aid sensor. REFER to: Rear Inner Parking Aid Sensor .
  11. I10 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. INSTALL a new 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.
