SODL/ SODR
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The SODL and SODR are radar based sensors that are located rearward of the rear wheel under the bumper cover. These sensors detect targets for the BLIS® and CTA system. On vehicles without door modules, the SODL and/or SODR supplies voltage to illuminate their respective exterior mirror BLIS®/ CTALED and the exterior mirrors provide ground to the BLIS®/ CTA Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The modules are capable of storing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for the BLIS® or CTA system when a concern exists. The SODL and SODR communicate through MS-CAN.
The SODL and SODR require PMI when replaced. Refer to: Module Configuration - System Operation and Component Description .
