Normal Operation

The Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R) and Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) communicate over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS(TM)) and the Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system can be turned on and off through the message center which is part of the IPC. The CTA system cannot be disabled in the message center when the transaxle selector gear is in REVERSE (R).

NOTE: The BLIS(TM) and/or CTA system are turned off for one key cycle only when using the message center switches. Permanently disabling the BLIS(TM) and/or CTA system is carried out in the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) programmable parameters menu.
