Active Park Assist

2007 Ford Escape Base, 2.3 Z, FWD, AutomaticSECTION Active Park Assist
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Some vehicles may also be equipped with active park assist. The active park assist system is controlled by the Parking Aid Module (PAM) and, when activated, can detect a parking space and steer the vehicle into the space by sending commands to the PSCMΒ  (the driver still controls the throttle, brakes and transmission). The active park assist system is comprised of several systems/modules that work together to aid in parallel parking maneuvers, the presence of certain DTCs in any of those systems/modules may keep the active park assist system from being enabled or may disable the system if currently being used. Refer to ACTIVE PARK ASSIST for additional information on active park assist.
