NOTE: The object used in this system check can be fabricated using a 9 cm diameter (3 in I.D.) pipe, 100 cm (39 in) in length (available as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe, or similar from a hardware or plumbing supply).
NOTE: The following system check should be carried out with the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE: The Parking Aid Module (PAM) system defaults to on when the ignition key is cycled from the OFF position to the ON position.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, engine off.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Place the gear shift in DRIVE (D) (front sensors) or REVERSE (R) (rear sensors).
4. Verify that the PAM detects the object above when placed in the 5 specified locations (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5).

• If the PAM does not detect the object above, refer to PARKING AID .
