Module, Park Assist (PAM): Description
The Park Assist Module (1) (PAM) (also known as the ParkTronic System/PTS module) is secured to the left inner quarter panel in the luggage compartment, between the C and D-pillars. Two mounting tabs (2) integral to the PAM housing are secured to the quarter inner panel with blind rivets. The PAM is concealed beneath the left quarter inner trim panel. Concealed within the molded plastic PAM housing is a microcontroller and the other electronic circuitry of the module. The PAM housing is sealed to enclose and protect the internal electronic circuitry.
Two connector receptacles (3) containing terminal pins are integral to one side of the PAM housing. The PAM is connected to the vehicle electrical system through 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. The PAM software is flash programmable.
