Module configuration is required when a new Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) or Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R) is being installed. Upload the SOD-L or SOD-R module configuration information to the scan tool. For additional information, refer to Programmable Module Installation (PMI) in Module Configuration .

2.

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Jacking and Lifting .

3.

Remove 4 fender splash shield screws and gently flex the shield to access the SOD-L or SOD-R.
- Remove the screw and washer.
- Disconnect the electrical connector.

4.

Remove the SOD-L or the SOD-R.

5.

6.

To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Download the SOD-L or the SOD-R configuration information. For additional information, refer to Module Configuration .
- After the configuration of the LH and RH modules is complete, turn the ignition to off then start the engine. With foot on the brake pedal shift the PRNDL through R, N, D and then back to Park. Check the cluster message center that there are no BLIS® or CTA error messages. Shifting through the PRNDL gears is necessary because some BLIS® and CTA faults are not reported to the cluster until the PRNDL enters R or D gears.
