1. Parking Assist Switch Malfunction
|
|
Circuit/System Description
|
The ultrasonic parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's path when moving forward or reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 MPH). The distance and location of the object is determined by eight object sensors: four located in the rear bumper and four located in the front bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver using an audible signal through the radio.
The following is a brief description of potential causes which may aid in diagnosis:
|
•
|
Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio system personalization menu.
|
|
•
|
Hitch/Object Attached - The parking assist control module is detecting an object that is attached to the vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, or a bicycle rack may cause this concern. Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If the vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the parking assist control module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully inspect the bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal diagnosis. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
|
|
•
|
Vehicle Overspeed -- The vehicle is travelling too fast in reverse at speeds of greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
|
|
•
|
Inhibit -- The parking assist control module has lost or received invalid GMLAN signal(s).
|
|
•
|
Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be caused a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as large a truck air brakes.
|
|
•
|
Sensor Ring Time -- If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the parking assist control module will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH). The following is a list of reasons this cause may have set:
|
|
|
-
|
One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen after going through a car wash in cold weather.
|
|
|
-
|
Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted.
|
|
|
-
|
Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness.
|
|
|
-
|
One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped.
|
|
|
-
|
Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

Circuit/System Verification
|
|
1.
|
Ignition ON, verify the park assist system is enabled through the parking assist switch.
|
|
2.
|
If the park assist system is manually disabled, enable the system. Refer to the vehicle owners manual for instructions on enabling the system.
|
|
3.
|
Observe the scan tool Park Assist Switch parameter while pressing and releasing the parking assist switch. The parameter should change between Active and Inactive.
|
|
4.
|
If the parameter does not change between the specified values, refer to Parking Assist Switch Circuit Malfunction.
|
|
5.
|
Command the Park Assist Switch LED output control ON and OFF with the scan tool. The parking assist switch indicator should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
|
|
6.
|
If the indicator does not turn ON and OFF, refer to Parking Assist Switch Indicator Circuit Malfunction.
|
|
7.
|
For vehicles with manual transmission: Transmission in reverse, verify the Engine Control Module (ECM) scan tool Reverse Position Switch parameter is Active.
|
|
9.
|
|
Note
|
|
After completing the next step the vehicle might need to be driven in the forward direction at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 MPH).
|
Transmission in REVERSE, verify the scan tool Park Assist System Status parameter displays Enable.
|
|
10.
|
If not the specified value, refer to Diagnostic Aids to determine the cause of the inhibit.
|
Parking Assist Switch Circuit Malfunction
|
1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module and the harness connector at the S48E Multifunction Switch - Center Console.
|
|
2.
|
Test for less than 10 Ω between the S48D Multifunction Switch 2 - centre console S48E ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
|
|
3.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
|
4.
|
Ignition ON, test for less than 0.3 V between the signal circuit terminal 8 X1 at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module harness connector and ground.
|
|
5.
|
If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
|
|
6.
|
Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the multifunction button S48E Multifunction Switch - Centre Console.
|
|
7.
|
Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the B+ circuit terminal 1 X1 at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module harness connector and signal circuit terminal 8 X3.
|
|
8.
|
If the test lamp illuminates, test signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the S48E Multifunction Switch - Centre Console.
|
|
9.
|
Verify that the test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 1 X1 at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module harness connector and signal circuit terminal 8 X1 while pressing the parking assist switch.
|
|
10.
|
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If all circuits test normal, replace the S48E Multifunction Switch - Centre Console.
|
|
11.
|
If all circuits test normal, replace the K41 Parking Assist Control Module.
