11 - PTS Sensor 11 Circuit Short to Ground






B1298-11 - PTS Sensor 11 Circuit Short to Ground






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.

The numbering system for the park assist sensors allows for up to twelve sensors on the vehicle, six front and six rear. The sensors are numbered in a clockwise manner starting at the left front bumper. The left front sensor (if equipped with front park assist) is the number 1 sensor. The numbering continues in a clockwise direction around the vehicle. This vehicle uses only four rear sensors, sensor numbers 7 and 12 are omitted, so the left rear sensor is the number 11 sensor.

When Monitored: While the vehicle is in reverse for speeds less than 10 mph (16km/h).

Set Condition: Sensor ring down time is too short (700 microsecs).






Test Step 1 - Check For Active DTC

Turn the ignition ON.

Apply the vehicle park brake.

Shift the transmission into reverse.

With the scan tool, record and erase park assist module DTCs.

Wait 30 seconds.

With the scan tool, read park assist module DTCs.

Does the scan tool display B1298 - PTS Sensor 11 Circuit Short to Ground?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2

No

The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
