Parking Aid

Pinpoint Test B: DTC B1B36:14, B1B38:14, B1B40:14, B1B42:14, B1B44:14, B1B46:14, B1B48:14 Or B1B50:14

Normal Operation

The Parking Aid Module (PAM) supplies a reference voltage and signal return to the parking aid sensors. A fault condition occurs when the PAM (Parking Aid Module) detects an open in the front (if equipped) or rear parking aid sensor circuits or the front or rear parking aid sensor input signal is open or shorted to ground.





This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors

- Parking aid sensor(s)

- PAM (Parking Aid Module)
