DTC Descriptors

DTC B1405 02
- Control Module Voltage Reference Output 2 Circuit Short to Ground

DTC B1405 03
- Control Module Voltage Reference Output 2 Circuit Low Voltage

DTC B1405 07
- Control Module Voltage Reference Output 2 Circuit High Voltage

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 object sensor supply voltage circuit and provides ground via the object sensor 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 object sensor signal circuit to calculate the distance and position of an object.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* Ignition ON

* Transmission in REVERSE

Conditions for Setting the DTC

B1405 02

The parking assist control module has detected the object sensor supply voltage circuit is shorted to ground.

B1405 03

The parking assist control module has detected the object sensor supply voltage circuit is less than 7.2 V.

B1405 07

The parking assist control module has detected the object sensor supply voltage circuit is greater than 9.2 V.

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

Ignition ON, transmission in REVERSE, observe the scan tool Park Assist Sensor Reference Voltage parameter. The reading should be between 7.2-9.2 V.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at each of the object sensors, ignition On, transmission in REVERSE

2. Test for 7.2-9.2 V between the object sensor reference circuit terminal 1 at all B78 Rear Object Sensor harness connectors and ground.

If less than 7.2 V

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the 8 V reference circuit and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance

3. Test for less than 2 ohms in the 8 V reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K41 Parking Assist Control Module.

If greater than 9.2 V

1. Disconnect the harness connector X 2 at the K41 Parking Assist Control Module, Ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the 8 V supply voltage circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage in the circuit.

If less than 1 V, replace the K41 Parking Assist Control Module.

If between 7.2-9.2 V

3. All OK.
