1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(/buick/enclave/i-2007-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(/buick/enclave/i-2007-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information__strategy-based-diagnosis) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
3. «Diagnostic Procedure Instructions»(/buick/enclave/i-2007-2013/remont/oem-general-information/#vehicle-diagnostic-information__diagnostic-procedure-instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's path when reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The distance and location of the object is determined by four object alarm sensors located in the rear bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver using an audible signal through the radio speakers.

When the "Park Assist Off", "Park Asst Blocked See Owners Manual", or "Park Assist Blocked See Owners Manual" message is displayed in the DIC the disable reason is stored in the Park Assist Disable History.

The scan tool Park Assist Disable History parameters are a list of the seven previous reasons the park assist system was disabled. These parameters may help in the diagnosis of an intermittent concern or a customer concern which is the result of normal system operation. The following is a brief description of potential causes which may aid in diagnosis

1. Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled by the vehicle operator through the DIC.
2. Hitch/Object Attached - The object alarm module is detecting an object is attached to the vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, object hanging out of liftgate, or a bicycle rack may cause this concern. Additionally, damage to the rear of the vehicle or a misaligned sensor may cause this concern. If the vehicle is damaged in a manner that causes the sensor to detect the bumper itself, the object alarm module will interpret this as an attached object and disable the system. Carefully inspect the bumper, bumper mounting surface, and sensor retainers before continuing with normal diagnosis. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph).
3. Reverse Overspeed - The vehicle is traveling too fast in reverse at speeds of greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
4. Inhibit - The object alarm module has lost or received invalid GMLAN signal(s).
5. Sensor Disturbance - An outside interference is causing sensor movement. Such interference may be caused by a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large truck's air brakes.
6. Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the object alarm module will set this error. After the detected cause has been addressed the vehicle must be driven at speed greater than 40 km/h (25 mph). The following is a list of reasons this cause might have set: One or more of the sensors may be blocked by snow, mud, ice, or other debris. This might happen after going through a car wash in cold weather. Silicone insulator surrounding sensor maybe missing, cut, or twisted. Improperly installed sensor, sensor maybe be crooked due to a tight wire harness. One or more of the sensors may be scratched or the paint maybe chipped. Excessive paint thickness on a sensor may cause an excessive sensor ring time. When replacing or refinishing a sensor, do not apply an excessive amount of paint or clear coat.

When the transmission is placed into REVERSE while engine is running, a 12 V signal is sent to the rearview camera indicating that camera operation is requested. Ignition voltage and ground are supplied to the rearview camera. The rearview camera sends video information to the radio through a video signal + and a video signal - circuit. A grounded shielding also wraps the video signal circuits to reduce electronic interference which may degrade the video signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also, extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality.

A grounded shielding also wraps the video signal circuits to reduce electronic interference which may degrade the video signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.

A poor video image can be caused by ice, snow, and mud buildup on the lens of the rearview camera. Also, extreme lighting conditions can affect performance, such as operating in the dark or with bright sunlight shining on the camera. Extreme high or low temperatures can also affect the image quality.

Rear Vision Camera System Operation (without UVB)

The components used in the rear vision camera system are the camera, located at the rear of the vehicle, and the inside rearview mirror, which houses the LCD display.

When the vehicle is placed in REVERSE while engine is running, the body control module (BCM) sends a 12 volt signal to the inside rearview mirror and the rearview camera. This signal indicates that rear vision camera operation is required. Upon receipt of this signal, the mirror will begin the power up cycle for the LCD display and the camera will also power up. The rear vision camera transmits the video signal to the inside rearview mirror through discrete + and - signal circuits. A metallic foil encases the video signal circuits and is tied to a shield ground circuit. This shield is designed to reduce electronic interference which may degrade the video signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.

If desired, the rear vision camera may be manually disabled. Refer to the navigation system owners manual for instructions on manually disabling and enabling the rear vision camera system. The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image

1. Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
2. Dark conditions
3. Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
4. Damage to the rear of the vehicle
5. Extreme high or low temperatures or extreme temperature changes

Rear Vision Camera System Operation (with UVB)

The components used in the rear vision camera system are the camera, located at the rear of the vehicle, and the navigation radio.

When the vehicle is placed in REVERSE while engine is running, the body control module (BCM) sends a 12 volt signal to the rearview camera. This signal indicates that rear vision camera operation is required. Upon receipt of this signal, the camera will begin the power up cycle. A serial data message is also received by the navigation radio indicating the vehicle is in REVERSE. Upon receipt of this message, the navigation radio will also begin a power up cycle for the display. The rear vision camera transmits the video signal to the navigation radio through discrete + and - signal circuits. A metallic foil encases the video signal circuits and is tied to a shield ground circuit. This shield is designed to reduce electronic interference which may degrade the video signal and cause a distorted or otherwise degraded image.

If desired, the rear vision camera may be manually disabled through the navigation system menu. Refer to the navigation system owners manual for instructions on manually disabling and enabling the rear vision camera system. The following conditions may cause a degraded rear vision camera image

1. Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
2. Dark conditions
3. Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
4. Damage to the rear of the vehicle
5. Extreme high or low temperatures or extreme temperature changes

If a malfunction is detected in the system, Service Rear Vision Camera may be displayed on the navigation radio as an indicator to the customer that a problem exists that requires service.

Object Detection Description and Operation (UD7)

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's path when reversing at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The distance and location of the object is determined by four object alarm sensors located in the rear bumper. The parking assist system will notify the driver using an audible signal through the radio speakers. The audible signal will vary depending on the distance the object is from the vehicle.

The parking assist system is made up of the following components

1. Object alarm module
2. Object alarm sensors

Object Alarm Module

The object alarm module provides an 8 V reference and a low reference to the four object alarm sensors. The object alarm module receives individual signals from each of the four sensors and determines the location and distance of an object based on these inputs. When an object is detected, the object alarm module will send a serial data message to the radio requesting an audible alert.

Object Alarm Sensor

The object alarm sensors are located in the rear bumper of the vehicle. The sensors are used to determine the distance between an object and the rear bumper. Each sensor emits an ultrasonic frequency which is reflected off an object located behind the vehicle. These reflections are received by the sensors. The time difference between when the frequency was emitted and when the reflection is received, known as sensor echo, is used to determine the distance to the object. The sensors report this information to the object alarm module.

Rear Parking Assist Operation

When the vehicle is first placed into reverse, an audible beep will sound to indicate the system is working.

When backing up at speed of less than 8 km/h (5 mph), the system is constantly monitoring for object of interest located behind the vehicle. The parking assist system can detect objects greater than 7.6 cm (3 in) wide and 25.4 cm (10 in) tall. The system cannot detect objects below the bumper or underneath the vehicle. If an object is detected within 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the rear bumper, there will be an audible beep out of the speakers. As the vehicle gets closer to an object, the time between the beeps becomes shorter. If the vehicle stops and there is an object within 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the rear bumper the beeping will stop after 5 seconds. When the distance between the object and the vehicle starts to decrease again the beeping will start again.

If the parking assist system detects a malfunction when the vehicle is placed into reverse there will be no audible beep and a DTC will be stored. The object alarm module will send a serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to display the SERVICE PARK ASSIST message on the driver information center (DIC).

Rear Parking Assist System DIC Messages

SERVICE PARK ASSIST

The driver information center (DIC) displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the object alarm module detects a malfunction in the parking assist system and the system is disabled. The DIC also displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when a loss of communication occurs with the object alarm module.

PARK ASSIST OFF

The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the DIC when the parking assist system is disabled manually through the DIC.

PARK ASST BLOCKED SEE OWNERS MANUAL

The PARK ASST BLOCKED SEE OWNERS MANUAL message is displayed in the DIC when the parking assist system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system.
