the instrument cluster circuitry. The check gauges indicator may be illuminated when any critical engine or transmission systems are operating
outside of their normal parameters. The instrument cluster monitors electronic messages received over the CAN data bus to determine when to
illuminate the check gauges indicator.
The EMIC provides chime service for all available features in the chime warning system. The EMIC relies upon its internal programming, numerous
hard wired inputs, and electronic message inputs received from other modules over the CAN data bus network to provide the chime warning system
features. The internal programming of the EMIC determines the priority of each chime request input that is received, as well as the rate and duration of
each chime that is to be generated.
The hard wired chime warning system inputs to the EMIC may be diagnosed and tested using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures. However,
conventional diagnostic methods may not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the EMIC, the CAN data bus, or the electronic messages received by the
EMIC from other modules. The most reliable, efficient and accurate means to diagnose the EMIC, the CAN data bus, or the electronic message inputs
used for the chime warning system requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
The Park Assist System display activates an audible tone that changes from intermittent to continuous as the final two Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) are
illuminated on one side or both sides of the display.
The system detection length from the rear of the vehicle is 0.3 metersto 1.5 meters. This area extends around the rear side of the vehicle. The system
detection height from the ground is 0.2 meters to about 1.5 meters. The radio mutes when the system activates its audible tone.
When the driver selects Reverse, the system scans for objects behind the vehicle using four sensors located in the rear bumper. A warning display above
the rear window provides both visible and audible warnings indicating the range of the object.
The system is active only when the transmission gear selector is in reverse for vehicle speeds less than 16 Km/h (10 mph). If the vehicle's
Parking/Emergency Brake is applied, the system is deactivated.
The display contains two sets of yellow and red Light Emitting Diode's (LED's) that the driver can see as they look over their shoulder while backing up.
Each side of the vehicle has its own warning LED's. The system provides a visual warning by illuminating one or more yellow LED's as the vehicle gets
closer to the object. As the vehicle continues to approach the object, one red LED is illuminated and the system emits a series of short beeps. The tone
will remain constant and both red LED's are illuminated once the vehicle is within 12 inches (30.5 cm) of the object.
The system can be turned ON or OFF through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) when the vehicle is in PARK. If the park assist system
is turned OFF, a single chime will sound and the EVIC will display the following message "REAR PARK ASSIST OFF", when the vehicle is in reverse.
-
Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris to keep the system operating properly.
-
Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of the system.
-
Ensure that the parking brake is not applied.
If "Service Park Assist System" appears in the EVIC after making sure the rear bumper is clean, proceed to diagnose the system using a scan tool and the
appropriate diagnostic information.
