Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
Each object sensor is a 3-wire sensor that is both a transmitter and a receiver that includes a signal circuit, a low reference circuit, and an 8-volt supply voltage circuit. The object alarm module supplies 8 volts to the object sensors via the object sensor supply voltage circuit and provides ground via the low reference circuit. The object alarm module triggers the sensors in a sequential loop. After each sensor transmits, the object alarm module uses the echo or signal return to calculate the distance and position of an object from the rear bumper.
