Condition
-
Some customers may comment on a Service Park Assist message being displayed on the driver information center (DIC).
-
The technician may observe with a scan tool DTC B1E3A and/or B0954, B0955, B0956, B0957, B0958, B0959, B0960, B0961 set as Current or
in History.
Cause
-
This condition may be caused by a malfunctioning object sensor or a circuit fault on the 8 volt reference circuit.
Note
The 8 volt reference circuit serves all of the object sensors in parallel. A fault anywhere on the circuit or in any single sensor will affect all of the
sensors.
-
When a single sensor malfunctions, the shared 8 volt reference circuit may be compromised, resulting in a DTC for each sensor.
Correction
Important
DO NOT replace all of the object sensors and/or the object alarm module.
If normal diagnosis does not reveal any concerns with the park assist system, perform the following diagnostic procedure:
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
Note
Depending on the model year of the vehicle the park assist system sensors are referred to as: object sensor or object alarm sensor.
2. Disconnect the harness connector at each of the object sensors. For the locations of the object sensors, refer to Master Electrical Component List
in SI.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Important
With all of the object sensor harness connectors disconnected, multiple sensor DTCs will set and will not clear. Ignore these DTCs for
now.
4. Clear any DTCs that may be present.
