Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
VERIFY MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM
•  Set up the vehicle according to the following conditions:
―  Switch the ignition to ON
―  Release the parking brake
―  R position (ATX)
―  Reverse gear (MTX)
―  Vehicle is stopped
―  Turn the parking sensor switch on
•  Put an object (obstruction) close to each sensor.
•  Does the buzzer for each sensor activate (detects obstruction)?
Yes
System is normal.
(Explain the effects of noise using the troubleshooting section of the owner's manual)
No
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY IF AFTER-MARKET ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE INSTALLED
•  Has an after-market electronic device been installed?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 4.
3
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS INSTALLATION OF AFTER-MARKET ELECTRONIC DEVICE
•  Remove the after-market electrical product.
•  Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  Does the buzzer for each sensor activate (detects obstruction)?
Yes
Explain to the customer that the installation of after-market electronic devices can cause noise.
No
Go to the next step.
4
VERIFY MALFUNCTION CONDITION
•  Verify the malfunction conditions in Step 1.
 
Front sensors detect all obstructions correctly, but rear sensors do not sense all obstructions correctly:
•  Go to the next step.
Rear/back sensors detects all obstructions correctly, but front sensors do not sense all obstructions correctly:
•  Go to Step 10.
All front, rear/back sensors do not sense obstructions correctly:
•  Go to Step 12.
One sensor or a few sensors do not detect obstructions correctly:
•  Inspect the wiring harness of the applicable sensor and repair or replace the malfunctioning location.
5
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS R POSITION (ATX), REVERSE (MTX) SIGNAL
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn on the parking sensor switch.
•  Measure the voltage of parking sensor control module terminal W.
•  Is the voltage normal?
Yes
Go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PARKING SENSOR CONTROL MODULE TERMINAL W AND BCM TERMINAL 7A
•  Switch the ignition to off.
•  Disconnect the parking sensor control module and BCM connectors.
•  Verify if there is continuity between parking sensor control module terminal W and BCM terminal 7A
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the open circuit in the wiring harness.
7
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SHORT CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN PARKING SENSOR CONTROL MODULE TERMINAL W AND BCM TERMINAL 7A
•  Verify if there is continuity between parking sensor control module terminal W and ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair for a short to the wiring harness ground.
No
Inspect and repair the following:
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between BCM terminal 2H and inhibitor switch (ATX)/reverse switch (MTX)
•  Inhibitor switch (ATX)
•  Reverse switch (MTX)
8
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS PARKING BRAKE SIGNAL
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn on the parking sensor switch.
•  Release the parking brake.
•  Measure the voltage of parking sensor control module terminal AA.
•  Is the voltage 5 V or more?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect and repair the following:
•  Parking brake switch (stuck on)
•  Wiring harness between parking brake switch and parking sensor control module terminal AA wiring harness (short to ground)
9
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SHORT TO GROUND IN TOW BAR AND TRAILER SIGNAL (TOW BAR AND TRAILER NOT INSTALLED)
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn on the parking sensor switch.
•  Measure the voltage of parking sensor control module terminal AF and terminal AD.
•  Is the voltage 1.0 V or less?
Yes
Repair for a short to ground in the wiring harness of parking sensor control module terminal AF and terminal AD.
No
Replace the parking sensor control module.
10
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT WIRING HARNESS
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn on the parking sensor switch.
•  Measure the voltage of parking sensor control module terminal Y.
•  Is the voltage normal?
Yes
Replace the parking sensor control module.
No
Go to the next step.
11
DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS SPEEDOMETER RELATED
•  Verify the speedometer display.
•  Does the speedometer indicate the actual vehicle speed?
Yes
Repair for an open circuit, short to the wiring harness between parking sensor control module terminal Y and instrument cluster terminal 2O.
No
Go to the instrument cluster symptom troubleshooting procedure “NO. 7 SPEEDOMETER INDICATION IS DEFECTIVE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER]”.
12
VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS PARKING BRAKE SIGNAL
•  Switch the ignition to ON.
•  Turn on the parking sensor switch.
•  Release the parking brake.
•  Measure the voltage of parking sensor control module terminal AA.
•  Is the voltage 5 V or more?
Yes
Replace the parking sensor control module.
No
Inspect and repair the following:
•  Parking brake switch (stuck on)
•  Wiring harness between parking brake switch and parking sensor control module terminal AA wiring harness (short to ground)
