Parking and Back-Up Sensor Control Unit Input Test (2020 2021)

NOTE:

Make sure the fuses associated with the system are OK.
Before testing, check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
If you are troubleshooting multiple DTCs, be sure to follow the instructions in B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode A .

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the parking and back-up sensor control unit 16P connector.

Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.

With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5.

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
5	WHT	Vehicle ON mode	Connect to ground with a jumper wire:The parking and back-up sensor switch indicator should come on.	Faulty LED Faulty parking and back-up sensor switch An open or high resistance in the wire
7	RED	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 7 and right front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 6: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
7	RED	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 7 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
6	GRY	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 6 and right front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
6	GRY	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 6 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire
13	BRN	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 13 and right front corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 2: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
13	BRN	Disconnect the right front corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 13 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire
16	GRN	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 16 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 6: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
16	GRN	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 16 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire
12	YEL	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 12 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 2: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
12	YEL	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 12 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire
14	LT GRN	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between terminal No. 14 and left rear corner sensor 6P connector terminal No. 4: There should be continuity.	An open or high resistance in the wire
14	LT GRN	Disconnect the left rear corner sensor 6P connector	Check for continuity between the terminal No. 14 and body ground: There should be no continuity.	A short to ground in the wire

Reconnect the connector, and do the following input tests:

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, replace the parking and back-up sensor control unit .

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
8	BRN	Vehicle ON mode	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.	An open or high resistance in the wire

Cavity	Wire	Test condition	Test: Desired result	Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
4	BLK	In all power modes	Measure the voltage to ground:There should be less than 0.2 V.	Poor ground (G505) An open or high resistance in the ground wire
15	YEL	Vehicle ON mode, and parking and back-up sensor switch ON	Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.	Faulty parking and back-up sensor switch An open or high resistance in the wire
