    NOTE: The object used in this system check can be fabricated using a 9 cm O.D. (3 in I.D.) plastic pipe 100 cm (39 in) in length (available as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, or similar from a hardware or plumbing supply).
    NOTE: The following system check should be carried out with the vehicle on a level surface. The specified object locations are approximate, not absolute.
    NOTE: The parking aid system defaults to on when the ignition key is cycled from the OFF position to the ON position.
    NOTE: The scan tool may be used to monitor distance PIDs. The distance PIDs read between 0 and 255 cm (0 and 8.4 ft) on a correctly functioning system.
  1. Turn the ignition to the ON position, engine off.
  2. Set the parking brake on.
  3. Place the gearshift in REVERSE (R).
  4. Verify that the Parking Aid Module (PAM) detects the object above when placed in the 5 specified locations (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5).
    • If the PAM does not detect the object above, refer to PARKING AID  in the Diagnosis and Testing portion of this information.
