Parking Aid Module

The parking aid module is located on the LH side of the luggage compartment.

The parking aid module has three connectors which provide for power, ground and CAN bus connections, front parking aid sensors and rear parking aid sensors. The medium speed CAN bus connections provide for the receipt of the following information from other systems:

• ABS (anti-lock brake system) module - Road speed signal
• TCM (transmission control module) - Reverse gear engaged signal
• Trailer module - Trailer attached to vehicle

The module also outputs messages on the medium speed CAN bus which are received by the integrated audio module. The integrated audio module processes these messages and converts them into Media Orientated System Transport (MOST) signals which are passed to the audio system power amplifier. These signals are then used by the power amplifier to emit the applicable warning tones from the front or rear audio speakers when an object is detected by the front or rear parking aid sensors. A warning tone can also be emitted to alert the driver to a fault in the parking aid system.

The control module has a diagnostic connection via the medium speed CAN bus to enable faults to be retrieved using the Jaguar approved diagnostic equipment. Additionally an on-board diagnostic routine within the control module constantly monitors the system and alerts the driver to a system fault by emitting a 3 second continuous tone through the rear audio system speakers when the ignition is switched on. If front parking aid sensors are fitted, the control switch LED will also flash 6 times.
