Minimum Detectable Object Locations
- Turn the ignition to the ON position, engine off.
- Set the parking brake on.
- Place the gearshift in REVERSE (R).
- 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.
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.
