Pinpoint Test I: Visual Park Aid Is Inoperative

Refer to Wiring Diagram Set 131, Parking Aid for schematic and connector information. [1][2]Diagrams By Number

Normal Operation

When the transaxle selector in the reverse position and an object is detected in the path of the parking aid sensor, a network message of the distance from the parking aid sensor to the object is sent from the Parking Aid Module (PAM) to the Body Control Module (BCM) over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The BCM (Body Control Module) networks the parking aid sensor message over the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) to the video camera. The visual alerts are red, yellow or green and appear as highlights on top of the displayed image to indicate in which zone the object is detected. The visual park aid feature can be enabled and disabled with in the Front Display Interface Module (FDIM).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Video camera

- PAM (Parking Aid Module)

- BCM (Body Control Module)
