Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information PAM-B1B3801

Condition

The Parking Assistance Module (PAM) checks the communication with the parking sensor, inner, right front. he control module checks the direct current (DC) voltage in the signal cable.

The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects that:

The direct current (DC) voltage is lower than 8.8 V.
Incorrect value runs longer than 1 second.

The control module's test for the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) starts in the event of:

Ignition switch position II.

NOTE:

The control module can only detect the fault once the test has been started and the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored when the conditions are met.
