1. CHECK THE PAM (Parking Aid Module) VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect: PAM (Parking Aid Module).

3. Ignition ON.

4. Measure:





Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?






2. CHECK THE PAM (Parking Aid Module) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Measure:





Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?






3. CHECK THE HS-CAN (High Speed Controller Area Network) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE PAM (Parking Aid Module) AND THE DLC (Data Link Connector) FOR AN OPEN

1. Measure:





Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?






4. CHECK FOR CORRECT PAM (Parking Aid Module) OPERATION

1. Ignition OFF.

2. Disconnect and inspect the PAM (Parking Aid Module) connector.
