    1. With the scan tool, read active DTCs.

      Is this DTC active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. CHECK FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIVE DTCS 
    1. With the scan tool, read active DTCs from all modules.
      NOTE: Check for TIPM configuration, CAN Interior Bus hardware electrical, VIN Missing/Mismatch, battery or ignition related DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display any active DTCs to the conditions listed above?

      Yes 

      • Go to and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. VERIFY THAT THE PTS IS ACTIVE ON THE BUS

    3. Verify that the PTS is active on the bus.

      Is the PTS active on the bus?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION RELATED DTCS 
    1. With the scan tool, select Network Diagnostics.

      Is there more than one module with active DTCs "Logged Against" the PTS?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. CLEAR DTC IN MODULE SETTING FAULT 
    1. With the scan tool, select the module setting the DTC against the Park Assist (PTS) Module.
    2. Clear active DTCs.

      Is this DTC still active?

      Yes
