Diagnostic Fault Information

Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure. Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview

Circuit/System Description

The object alarm detection system senses how close the vehicle is to an object. The distance is determined by the 4 ultrasonic sensors located in the rear and front (if equipped) bumpers. The object detection system will notify the driver when backing up while parking at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph), which make parking easier and helps you avoid colliding with objects such as parked vehicles. The object detection system will use front and rear display indicators and the radio speakers for notification.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1E3A 03

The object alarm module has detected the object alarm sensor supplied voltage circuit is below 7.2 volts.

B1E3A 07

The object alarm module has detected the object alarm sensor supplied voltage circuit is above 9.2 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* The object alarm module sets a DTC.
* The object alarm module commands ON the information center telltale red indicator.
* The object alarm module will send a serial data communication message to the instrument panel (I/P) to scroll SERVICE PARK ASSIST message on the driver information center (DIC), and the chime will sound

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

* The DTC becomes history when the conditions for setting the DTC are no longer present.
* The object alarm module receives a clear code command from the scan tool.

Circuit/System Testing

Important: When removing connectors inspect for damage or corrosion. Damage or corrosion in the following requires repair or replacement of the affected component/connector.

* The rear object sensors

* The object alarm module

* The object sensors wiring harness connector

* The object alarm module wiring harness connector

1. Ignition ON and the scan tool installed, verify that DTC B1325 is not current.

• If current, refer to DTC B1325. B1325

2. Ignition ON and the scan tool installed, verify that DTC B0958, B0959, B0960 or B0961 is not current.

• If current, refer to DTC B0958, B0959, B0960, or B0961. B0958

3. Ignition ON and with the transmission range in REVERSE, verify that the scan tool Sensor Feed Voltage Output parameter is between 7.2 V - 9.2 V.

• If less than 7.2 V, test the supply voltage circuit of the object alarm sensor for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object alarm module.

• If greater than 9.2 V, test the supply voltage circuit of the object alarm sensor for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the object alarm module.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the suspect object alarm sensor for the rear or front object alarm system.
