Park Assist Module - Description

DESCRIPTION





The Park Assist Module (5) is secured within a cavity on the left side of a molded plastic intermediate step assembly (4) located on the rear floor panel (3) under the second row seat cushion. The module is concealed beneath a carpeted trim cover secured by hook and loop fasteners over the step cavity. The inboard side of this cavity also contains the Final Drive Control Module (FDCM) (1) on vehicles that are so equipped. Both modules are connected to the vehicle electrical system through dedicated take outs and connectors of the underbody wire harness (2).





Concealed within the molded plastic park assist module housing (1) is a microprocessor and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry. The module software is flash programmable.

There are four mounting tabs (2 and 3) integral to the module housing that secure the module through two slots and two latch features integral to the floor of the step cavity. Two connector receptacles (4) containing terminal pins that connect the module to the vehicle electrical system are integral to the one side of the housing. One of the receptacles is utilized in vehicles equipped with only the rear park assist system, while both receptacles are used on vehicles equipped with both the front and rear park assist systems.

The park assist module cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced.
