Component Description

IPMA Camera 

The lane keeping system contains a IPMA camera located on windshield (above the interior rear view mirror), that is used to detect the position of the vehicle within the lane. The IPMA camera requires a camera alignment when removed or replaced.

IPMA 

The IPMA is on the RH side rear quarter inside panel. The IPMA communicates on the FD-CAN1 and on vehicles equipped with the adaptive cruise control and collision warning system, the IPMA shares information with the CCM on dedicated CAN circuits to assist the driver in avoiding a collision.

The IPMA uses the ethernet communication network for OTA. For more information on OTA, Refer to: Parking Aid - System Operation and Component Description .

The IPMA requires PMI when replaced. Refer to: Module Configuration - System Operation and Component Description .

NOTE: When a new IPMA is installed, a camera alignment DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is stored until the IPMA camera alignment is successfully completed.

IPMA Camera Heated Windshield Element 

The IPMA camera heated windshield element is a resistive-type heater grid that is integrated into the windshield and located directly in front of the IPMA camera. The IPMA camera heated windshield element cannot be replaced separately from the windshield. Before replacing the windshield or the IPMA for an IPMA camera heated windshield element concern, verify the integrity of the wiring, connectors and terminals.

Lane Keeping System Switch 

The lane keeping system switch is a normally open momentary contact switch that, when pressed, grounds the lane keeping system switch input circuit from the SCCM.
