PDC Control Module

Mounted in the right side of the trunk behind the trim cover. The PDC control module activates the ultrasonic sensors mounted in the bumper cover. After activation, the control module monitors the signals coming back through the sensors.

Through this signal, the PDC is able to determine the distance to any objects close to the bumpers of the vehicle. As the vehicle comes close to an object, the PDC control module will activate the respective gong (front/rear) at a specific frequency tone.

The PDC control module is linked to the I/K-Bus for the following:

Gong/Speaker - The PDC control module activates a gong and a speaker to alert the driver of the detected object. The front mounted gong is the existing check control gong located under the glove box. The rear mounted speaker is located under the right side of the parcel shelf.
