Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The object sensors are 3-wire sensors that are used to determine the distance between the vehicle and an object of interest. The parking assist control module supplies 8 V to the object sensors via the 8 V reference circuit and provides ground via the low reference circuit. The parking assist control module triggers the sensors in a sequential loop. After each sensor transmits, the parking assist control module uses the sensor echo received through the signal circuit to calculate the distance and position of an object.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* Ignition ON
* The park assist is activated. The activation takes place through putting in the reverse gear or through operating the park assist switch.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0954 01, B0955 01, B0956 01, or B0957 01
The parking assist control module has detected the voltage at the sensor circuit is greater than 11.5 V or the object sensor is not grounded.
B0954 06, B0955 06, B0956 06, or B0957 06
The parking assist control module has detected the voltage at the sensor circuit is less than 0.5 V.
B0954 08, B0955 08, B0956 08, or B0957 08
The parking assist control module has received an invalid signal.
B0954 21, B0955 21, B0956 21, or B0957 21
The object sensor determines no change in the position of an object while the vehicle is in motion.
B0954 3A, B0955 3A, B0956 3A, or B0957 3A
The parking assist control module determines the wrong sensor type is installed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The parking assist is disabled.
* The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON.
2. Verify that DTC B1405 is not set.
• If the DTC is set
Refer to DTC B1405 (Rear Park Assist - UD7) Object Detection (Rear Park Assist - UD7)DTC B1405 (Front and Rear Park Assist - UD5) Object Detection (Front and Rear Park Assist - UD5)
• If the DTC is not set
3. Verify that DTC B0954 01, B0955 01, B0956 01, B0957 01 B0954 21, B0955 21, B0956 21 or B0957 21 is not set.
• If the DTC is set
1. Check B78 Front Object Sensor for contamination from snow, mud, dirt, slush or ice.
• If contaminated, clean sensor.
• If there is no contamination
2. Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If the DTC is not set
4. Verify that DTC B0954 3A, B0955 3A, B0956 3A or B0957 3A is not set.
• If the DTC is set
Replace the B78 Front Object Sensor with the correct sensor type.
5. Ignition ON, transmission in REVERSE.
6. Verify the scan tool Parking Assist System Status parameter displays Enabled.
• If the Parking Assist System displays Disabled
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
• If the Parking Assist System displays Enabled
