Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The object sensors are 3-wire sensors that are used to determine the distance
between the vehicle and an object
of interest. The front and rear parking assist control module supplies 8 V to
the object sensors via the 8 V
reference circuit and provides ground via the low reference circuit. The front
and rear parking assist control
module triggers the sensors in a sequential loop. After each sensor transmits,
the front and rear parking assist
control module uses the sensor echo received through the signal circuit to
calculate the distance and position of
an object.
Conditions for Running the DTC
- Ignition ON
- The parking assist is activated. The activation takes place through
putting in the reverse gear or through
operating the park assist switch.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
B0958 01, B0959 01, B0960 01, or B0961 01
The front and rear parking assist control module has detected the voltage at
the sensor circuit is greater than
11.5 V or the object sensor is not grounded.
B0958 06, B0959 06, B0960 06, or B0961 06
The front and rear parking assist control module has detected the voltage at
the sensor circuit less than 0.5 V.
B0958 08, B0959 08, B0960 08, or B0961 08
The front and rear parking assist control module has received an invalid
signal.
B0958 21, B0959 21, B0960 21, or B0961 21
The object sensor determines no change in the position of an object while the
vehicle is in motion.
B0958 3A, B0959 3A, B0960 3A, or B0961 3A
The front and rear parking assist control module determines the wrong sensor
type is installed.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The parking assist is disabled.
- The driver information center displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification
- Ignition ON.
- Verify that DTC B1405 is not set.
Refer to DTC B1405 (Rear Park Assist - UD7), DTC B1405 (Front and Rear Park
Assist -
UD5)
- Verify that DTC B0958 01, B0959 01, B0960 01, B0961 01, B0958 21, B0959
21, B0960 21 or B0961
21 is not set.
- Verify the B78 Rear Object Sensors are not contaminated with snow, mud,
dirt, slush, or ice.
- If contaminated, clean sensor.
- If there is no contamination
- Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- Verify that DTC B0958 3A, B0959 3A, B0960 3A or B0961 3A is not set.
Replace the B78 Rear Object Sensor with the correct sensor type.
- Ignition ON, transmission in REVERSE.
- Verify the scan tool Parking Assist System Status parameter displays
Enabled.
- If the Parking Assist System displays Disabled
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- If the Parking Assist System displays Enabled
- All OK.
Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, scan tool disconnected, disconnect the harness at the
appropriate B78 Rear Object Sensor.
It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down.
- Test for less than 10 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 2
and ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X2 at the K41 Front and
Rear Parking Assist
Control Module.
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms replace the K41 Front and Rear Parking Assist
Control Module.
- If less than 10 ohms
- Ignition ON.
- Test for 7.5-9.5 V between the 8 V reference circuit terminal 1 and
ground.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K41 Front and Rear
Parking Assist Control
Module.
- Test for infinite resistance between the 8 V reference circuit and
ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the 8 V reference circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K41 Front and Rear Parking Assist
Control Module.
- If greater than 9.5 V
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K41 Front and Rear
Parking Assist Control
Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the 8 V reference circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V, replace the K41 Front and Rear Parking Assist Control
Module.
- If between 7.5-9.5 V
- Ignition OFF, remove the appropriate B78 Rear Object Sensor and switch
locations with another properly
operating sensor. Connect harness connector at both sensors. Ignition ON.
- Verify the DTC is set for the new location in which the malfunctioning
sensor is installed.
- If DTC set for the new location
Replace the malfunctioning B78 Rear Object Sensor.
- If DTC set for the original location
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K41 Front and Rear
Parking Assist Control
Module, ignition ON.
- Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
- If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
- If less than 1 V
- Ignition OFF.
- Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the
circuit.
- If infinite resistance
- Test for less than 2 ohms in the circuit end to end.
- If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
- If less than 2 ohms, replace the K41 Front and Rear Parking Assist
Control Module.
- If no DTC set
- All OK.

You probably have several tools at your disposal to diagnose injector
circuits. But you might have questioned
"Is a lab scope necessary to do a thorough job, or will a set of noid lights and
a multifunction DVOM do just as
well?"
In the following text, we are going to look at what noi
Removal Procedure
WARNING: Gasoline or gasoline vapors are highly flammable. A fire
could occur
if an ignition source is present. Never drain or store gasoline or
diesel fuel in an open container, due to the possibility of fire or
explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.
