Module, Park Assist: Description: Description
The Park Assist Module (PAM) (also known as the ParkTronic System/PTS module) (1) is secured to the right inner quarter panel behind the right rear wheel housing in the trunk compartment. One of the two mounting tabs (2) integral to the module housing is inserted into a stamped pocket in the inner quarter panel, while the other mounting tab is secured with a push-in plastic fastener. The module is concealed behind the trunk side trim. Concealed within the molded plastic PAM housing is a microcontroller and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The module housing is sealed to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry. The module software is flash programmable.
Three connector receptacles (only two are used for this application) (3) containing terminal pins are integral to the forward-facing side of the housing. The module is connected to the vehicle electrical system through two dedicated take outs and connectors of the body wire harness.
The PAM cannot be adjusted or repaired and, if damaged or ineffective, it must be replaced with a new unit.
