Magnum SRT-8 V8-6.1L VIN 3 (2006)
Parking Assist Distance Sensor: Description and Operation
The Park Assist Sensors generate ultrasonic pulses when triggered by the park assist module when an obstacle is detected. The sensors then signal the
module when reflected ultrasonic pulses are received.
The Park Assist Sensors are located in the rear bumper fascia mounted equally apart. The sensors detect objects with an ultrasonic pulse that reflects off
the object and then is sent to the module to determine the distance of the object.
The Park Assist Sensors:
-
Generate ultrasonic pulses when triggered by the Park Assist Module.
-
Reception/filtering of ultrasonic energy received.
-
Signalling the module of received ultrasonic pulses that meet threshold criteria.
The sensors are supplied power by the module. The sensor supply is enabled when the sensor function is necessary.
The sensors detection length from the rear of the vehicle is 0.3 meters to 1.5 meters. This area extends around the rear side of the vehicle. The sensor
detection height from the ground is 0.2 meters to about 1.5 meters.
-
Ensure that the rear bumper (sensors) 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.
