Diagnostic Indicator Pattern 8 and 9
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Diagnostic indicator patterns 8 or 9 are displayed in sequence of diagnostic indicator patterns 2, 3, 4 and 5.
- While still in the diagnostic mode, disconnect the rear object sensor(s) one at a time and verify that the indicator pattern 8 or 9 does not display after the suspect sensor(s) has been disconnected. When the suspect sensor(s) is disconnected, the indicator pattern 8 or 9 should no longer be displayed.
- If the indicator pattern 8 or 9 continues to display after each sensor has been disconnected and reconnected, test the object sensor supply voltage circuit and the low reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
- If the indicator pattern 8 and 9 does not display after disconnecting the suspect sensor, replace the suspect sensor.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the object sensor control module.
