DTC Descriptor
DTC B0968 00
- Parking Aid Indicator Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information





Circuit/System Description

The rear object sensor control module directly controls the parking assist indicators located in the rear parking assist display. The rear object sensor control module monitors the voltage supplied to the rear parking assist display to verify it is within operating range. The rear parking assist display consists of two amber and one red LED that indicate the distance of an object from the rear bumper. As objects become progressively closer to the bumper, the rear object sensor control module will illuminate the LEDs in a sequence: one amber LED, both amber LEDs, and lastly, both amber LEDs and the red LED.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* DTC B1325 is not set
* Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts
* Transmission in REVERSE

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The rear object sensor control module detects that one of the three indicator control circuits or the supply voltage is shorted to ground.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

* Rear parking assist system is disabled.
* The rear object sensor control module commands the red indicator ON.
* The rear object sensor control module sends a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to display SERVICE PARK ASSIST message in the driver information center (DIC) and a chime will sound.

Conditions for Clearing

* The DTC will transition to history when the fault is no longer present.
* A history DTC will clear after 100 malfunction-free ignition cycles.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, command the Rear Red LED, Rear Yellow LED 1, and Rear Yellow LED 2 ON and OFF with a scan tool. The appropriate indicator should turn on and off as commanded.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the rear parking assist display.
2. Ignition ON, test for 10.0-12.5 V between the supply voltage circuit terminal A and ground.

• If less than the specified range, test the supply voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
• If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.

3. Command the appropriate LED ON with a scan tool and test for 9.5-12.5 V between the appropriate control circuit listed below and ground:

* Amber 1 LED - terminal B
* Amber 2 LED - terminal C
* Red LED - terminal D

• If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.
• If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the rear object sensor control module.

4. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the rear parking assist display.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the diagnostic procedure.
