Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Buick Verano. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Two Side Object Sensor Modules are located on each side of the vehicle near the corners of the rear fascia. The modules are provided with B+ and ground. The Side Object Sensor Module - Right has an additional ground to distinguish it from the Side Object Sensor Module - Left. The Side Object Sensor Module - Left is connected to the serial data line. The serial data line is passed through the module to the Side Object Sensor Module - Right.
When vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6.2 MPH) and either Side Object Sensor Module detects an object in the detection area, the module provides a signal to the appropriate Outside Rearview Mirror to illuminate the amber telltale LED.
