PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting
any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect
and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further
diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result
in accidental airbag deployment.
If a malfunction is detected in the park assist system, be certain to confirm the following:
-
Be certain that the bumpers are free of dirt and debris to keep the system operating properly.
-
The presence of jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations in the vicinity of the vehicle could impact the performance of the system.
The hard wired circuits between components related to the park assist system may be diagnosed using conventional diagnostic tools and procedures.
Refer to the appropriate wiring information. The wiring information includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and connector repair procedures, details of
wire harness routing and retention, connector pin-out information and location views for the various wire harness connectors, splices and grounds.
However, conventional diagnostic methods will not prove conclusive in the diagnosis of the park assist system or the electronic controls or
communication between modules and other devices that provide some features of the park assist system. The most reliable, efficient, and accurate means
to diagnose the park assist system, the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus or the electronic communication related to park assist system operation
requires the use of a diagnostic scan tool. Refer to the appropriate diagnostic information.
