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
The object alarm module directly controls the parking assist indicators located in the information center telltale assembly. The information center telltale assembly consists of two amber and one red LED that indicate the distance of an object from the rear bumper. As objects become progressively closer to the bumper, the object alarm module will illuminate the LEDs in a sequence: one amber LED, both amber LEDs, and lastly, both amber LEDs and the red LED. The LEDs are supplied voltage by the object alarm module. Each LED is also discretely controlled by the object alarm module.
