PINPOINT TEST D : B129C:96 Or B129D:96

  1. D1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM THE PAM SELF-TEST

    • Using a scan tool, perform PAM self-test.

    Are DTCs other than B129C:96 or B129D:96 recorded?

    • Clean the bumper and sensors with high-pressure water.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Press the active park assist switch.
    • Monitor and record the PAM distance PIDs while moving a test object into and out of the azimuth field at each of the sensors.
      PID Description
      FSL_DIST Left active park assist sensor distance
      FSR_DIST Right active park assist sensor distance

    Does the active park assist sensor detect the correct PID distance according to the general specifications? 

    Yes  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a dirty or blocked active park assist sensor.
    No  GO to  D3.
  3. D3 INSTALL A KNOWN GOOD SENSOR
