to using this diagnostic procedure.
Circuit/System Description
The rear park assist system (RPA) is designed to assist the driver when reversing
and should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices. The RPA is equipped
with a module, a warning buzzer and ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors operate
both as transmitters and receivers of ultrasonic signals. The driver is alerted to
approaching objects by a sequence of pulses or continuous tones from the warning buzzer.
The warning buzzer could sound continuously in the event of the following:
• | RPA sensor falsely obstructed. |
• | RPA sensors faulty/disconnected at RPA module. |
• | Warning buzzer harness faulty. |

Circuit/System Testing
- Ensure parking sensors are clean of road dirt.
- Ensure parking sensors are not damaged.
- Verify parking sensors are correctly installed.
⇒ | Refer to installation instructions. |
- Verify that the parking sensors are connected to the RPA module before
turning the ignition ON and selecting reverse.
⇒ | If the parking sensors were disconnected, connect the parking sensors and reset
the RPA module by selecting neutral and than reverse. |
- Disconnect X1 at the RPA module. Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate
between the circuits below and ground:
⇒ | If the test lamp illuminates, test the warning buzzer wiring for a short to
voltage. |
