System overview

Control module

S40/V50/C70





C30





There is a parking assistance system to assist parking. The parking assistance module (PAM) manages components in the system and communication with other control modules.

The control module is located in the cargo compartment, behind the right wheel arch.

The parking assistance module (PAM) communicates with directly connected components and with other control modules via the controller area network (CAN).

The control module checks the input and output signals through an integrated diagnostic system. A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects a fault. Any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the control module memory. The data can be read off using VIDA.

Signals
The table below summarizes the input signals to and output signals from the parking assistance module (PAM). The signal types are divided into directly connected signals and CAN communication. The illustration below displays the same information with the Volvo component designations.
