Driving aids (Sounder): Description and operation

Sounder

The PDC sounder is controlled by the PDC ECU and emits a series of tones of varying frequency to inform the driver of the distance between the vehicle and a detected object.

The PDC sounder is located in the LH side of the luggage compartment. A bracket is attached to the 'E' post, behind the trim panel and provides for the attachment of the PDC sounder and the PDC ECU.

On vehicles without rear air conditioning, the bracket is located inboard on the LH 'E' post, adjacent to the luggage compartment trim panel. On vehicles with rear air conditioning, the bracket is located outboard on the LH 'E' post, adjacent to the outer body panel.

The sounder is located on two screws and lock washers through the bracket and secured with nuts. The sounder is connected to the PDC ECU via a harness connector.
