E2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH NO OBJECTS BEHIND THE VEHICLE

NOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.

Clean the rear bumper and sensors with high-pressure water. Make sure the suspect parking aid sensor(s) is flush-mounted in the bezel. Ignition ON. Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LRI_DIST, LRO_DIST, RRI_DIST, RRO_DIST). The PID reads 2,540 mm (100 in) on a correctly functioning sensor.

Does the PID read 2,540 mm (100 in)?

E3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH A TEST OBJECT BEHIND THE VEHICLE

NOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LRI_DIST, LRO_DIST, RRI_DIST, RRO_DIST). While monitoring the Parameter Identifications (PIDs), move a test object into and out of the detection zone behind each sensor. For an example of a test object, REFER to: Azimuth System Check (413-13A Parking Aid - Vehicles With: Rear Parking Aid, General Procedures).

Does the PID approximately match the distance from the test object to the rear bumper of the vehicle?

Yes
