B128E-25-PTS SENSOR 1 - SIGNAL SHAPE / WAVEFORM FAILURE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

The Park Assist Sensors are ultrasonic transceivers that are completely controlled by the Park Assist Module. The sensors transmit and receive ultrasonic signals. Each sensor has a voltage, signal, and return circuit to the module. The sensors communicate with the Park Assist Module using a dedicated serial bus communication circuit.

NOTE: The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. Since Chrysler Group vehicles use only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.

- When Monitored:
Vehicle in reverse.

During the self-test while vehicle is in drive between 11 mph (18 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h).

- Set Condition:
The Park Assist Module detects an internal Sensor error.





1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic procedure, remove any ice, snow, mud, dirt, or other obstructions from the front/rear fascia/bumper. Also remove any ice, snow, dirt, mud, or other obstructions from the underside of the Fascia/Bumper surrounding the sensors.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read Park Assist Module DTCs.

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.

2. PARK ASSIST SENSOR
1. Verify that none of the possible causes mentioned above are present. Repair as necessary.

If none of the possible causes mentioned above are present, view repair.

Repair

- Replace the Park Assist Sensor that caused this DTC to change from active to stored after disconnecting it. Park Assist Sensor - Removal.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test.
