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 parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist switch. The front and rear parking assist control module applies voltage and monitors the parking assist switch signal circuit. The parking assist switch is a normally open switch. With the switch open, voltage seen at the front and rear front and rear parking assist control module is high. When the parking assist switch is pressed, the switch is closed and the signal circuit is pulled to ground. With the switch closed, voltage seen at the front and rear front and rear parking assist control module is low. The front and rear parking assist control module will respond to this by activating or deactivating the parking assist function.
When the parking assist system is enabled, the front and rear parking assist control module will illuminate the indicator on the switch. The indicator receives voltage through a high control circuit from the body control module (BCM) and is controlled through a low control circuit by the front and rear parking assist control module.
