Circuit/System Description

The pedestrian impact detection system senses and discriminates vehicle impacts and deploys the pedestrian hood hinge actuators in a timely manner to protect vulnerable pedestrians. The discrimination sensor provides discrete force information to the pedestrian impact detection module. The pedestrian impact detection module uses vehicle acceleration information from the safing sensor and force information from the discrimination sensor to determine those events when the deployment of the hood hinge actuator is expected. The pedestrian hood actuators deploy only when a valid signal whose energy is capable of triggering deployment of the hood is present. During a frontal pedestrian impact of sufficient force, the pedestrian impact detection module will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the hood hinge actuator. The pedestrian impact detection module provides a minimum of 1.2 amps and a maximum of 1.95 amps of current for a minimum of 2 ms when an actuator deployment is commanded. The pedestrian impact detection module performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity. The pedestrian impact detection module sets this DTC in the current ignition cycle when a hood hinge actuator deployment has been commanded. After a deployment, the hood hinge actuators and the pedestrian impact detection module need to be replaced.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition voltage is between 9-16 volts.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

  1. The pedestrian impact detection module detects a frontal impact to warrant deployment of the hood hinge actuators.
  2. The pedestrian impact detection module provides a minimum of 1.2 amps and a maximum of 1.95 amps of current for a minimum of 2 ms to command deployment of the hood hinge actuators

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

  1. The pedestrian impact detection module commands the DIC to display Reset Hood See Owners Manual for the following two ignition cycles.
  2. The pedestrian impact detection module commands the DIC to display Service Pedestrian Protection System at the third ignition cycle after the hood hinge actuators have been deployed until service is performed.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

  1. The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists.
  2. A history DTC will clear once 40 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.

The pedestrian hood actuators deploy only when a valid signal whose energy is capable of triggering deployment of the hood is present. The pedestrian hood actuators only deploys in those events where the activation of the hood is expected. The hood actuator is not expected to deploy in low severity event where the risk of injury is low or in a high severity event like a car to car crash. During a frontal pedestrian impact of sufficient force the pedestrian impact detection module will allow current to flow through the deployment loop in order to deploy the hood hinge actuator. The pedestrian impact detection module performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity, shorts to ground and shorts to voltage. There are 2 shorting bars used within the hood hinge actuator connector which will short together both high and low control circuits, when the hood hinge connector is disconnected. This helps to prevent unwanted deployment of the actuator during servicing.

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 the rear parking assist display and an audible signal through the radio.

The scan tool Park Assist Disable History parameters are a list of the seven previous reasons the parking 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 rear object sensor control module is detecting an object is attached to the vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, object hanging out of endgate/rear compartment, 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 rear object sensor control 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 greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
  4. Inhibit - The rear object sensor control 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.

Pedestrian Impact Detection System Disabling and Enabling

There are several reasons for disabling the pedestrian impact detection system (PIDS), such as repairs to the system or servicing a component near or attached to a PIDS component. There are several ways to disable the PIDS depending on what type of service is being performed. The following information covers the proper procedures for disabling/enabling the pedestrian impact detection system (PIDS).

ConditionAction
If the vehicle was involved in an accident with a hinge deployment.Disconnect the negative battery cable(s). Refer to Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision .
When performing PIDS diagnostics.Follow the appropriate PIDS service manual diagnostic procedure(s)
When removing or replacing a PIDS component or a component attached to a PIDS component.Disconnect the negative battery cable(s)
If the vehicle is suspected of having shorted electrical wires.Disconnect the negative battery cable(s)
When performing electrical diagnosis on components other than the PIDS.Remove the PIDS fuse(s) when indicated by the diagnostic procedure to disable the SIR system

Pedestrian Impact Detection System (PIDS) Service Precautions

WARNINGWhen performing service on or near the pedestrian impact detection system (PIDS) components or the PIDS wiring, the PIDS must be disabled. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the PIDS components. Serious injury can occur. Failure to observe the correct procedure could also result in unnecessary PIDS repairs

The pedestrian impact detection system (PIDS) maintains a reserve energy supply. The PIDS reserve energy supply provides deployment power for the hood hinge actuators if the PIDS loses battery power during a collision. Deployment power is available for as much as 1 minute after disconnecting the vehicle power. Waiting 1 minute before working on the system after disabling the SIR system prevents deployment of the air bags from the reserved energy supply.

General Service Instructions

The following are general service instructions which must be followed in order to properly repair the vehicle and return it to its original integrity

  1. Do not expose the PIDS modules to temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
  2. Verify the correct replacement part number. Do not substitute a component from a different vehicle.
  3. Use only original GM replacement parts available from your authorized GM dealer. Do not use salvaged parts for repairs to the PIDS.

Discard any of the following components if it has been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3 feet) or greater

  1. Pedestrian impact detection system module
  2. Pedestrian impact detection system safing sensor
  3. Pedestrian impact detection system discrimination sensor
  4. Pedestrian impact detection system hood hinge actuators

Disabling Procedure - Pedestrian Impact Detection System (PIDS) Fuse

  1. Place the ignition in the OFF position.
  2. Locate and remove the fuse supplying power to the PIDS. Refer to «Object Detection Schematics»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/collisionavoidance/#object-detection-system) or «Electrical Center Identification Views»(/cadillac/cts/ii-2007-2014/remont/electrical-component-locations/#wiring-systems-and-power-management-component-locator-electrical-center-identification-views) .
  3. Wait 1 minute before working on the system.

Enabling Procedure - Pedestrian Impact Detection System (PIDS) Fuse

When the vehicle is running and the transmission is placed into REVERSE, 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. Extreme lighting conditions may also 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.

Accident With or Without Pedestrian Hood Actuator(s) Deployment- Component Inspections

WARNINGProper operation of the pedestrian impact detection system (PIDS) requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return the vehicle structure to the original production configuration. Not properly repairing the vehicle structure could cause non-deployment in a collision or deployment for conditions less severe than intended.

After any collision, inspect the following components as indicated. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.

  1. Bumper/Facia/Grille
  2. Hinge/Hood Assembly
  3. Sensors
  4. Upper Bumper Beam/Lower Bumper Beam/Bumper Form.

Accident With Actuator(s) Deployment - Component Replacement and Inspections

After a collision involving hood hinge actuator deployment, replace the following components. If you detect any damage, replace the component. If you detect any damage to the mounting points or mounting hardware, repair or replace the mounting points and mounting hardware as needed.

  1. Sensors
  2. Actuators
  3. Front Bumper/Fascia/Grille
  4. Hinge/Hood Assembly
  5. Upper Bumper Beam/Lower Bumper Beam/Bumper Form

Sensor Replacement Guidelines

The PIDS sensor replacement policy requires replacing sensors in the area of accident damage. The area of accident damage is defined as the portion of the vehicle which is crushed, bent or damaged due to a collision. An example of this would be a moderate collision where the front of the vehicle impacts a tree.

  1. Replace the sensors whether or not the actuators have deployed.
  2. Replace the sensors even if the sensors appear to be undamaged.

Sensor damage which is not visible, such as slight bending of the mounting bracket or cuts in the wire insulation can cause improper operation of the PIDS. Do not try to determine whether the sensor is undamaged. Replace the sensor. Also, if you follow a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table and a malfunctioning sensor is indicated, replace the sensor.

Object Detection Description and Operation (UD7 with Display)

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's path when reversing at speeds 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 the rear parking assist display and an audible signal through the chime master.

The parking assist system is made up of the following components

  1. Rear object sensor control module
  2. Object alarm sensors
  3. Rear parking assist display

Rear Object Sensor Control Module

The rear object sensor control module provides an 8-volt reference and a low reference to the four object alarm sensors. The rear object sensor control 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 rear object sensor control module will illuminate the appropriate LED on the rear parking assist display and send a serial data message 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 rear object sensor control module.

Rear Parking Assist Display

The rear parking assist display is located in the interior rear of the vehicle and is visible through the inside rearview mirror. The display contains three LEDs: two amber and one red. The rear object sensor control module controls these three LEDs as a visual indicator of how close the vehicle bumper is to an object. The rear object sensor control module supplies voltage to each of the LEDs and commands each LED on by supplying an individual ground.

Rear Parking Assist Operation

When the vehicle is first placed into reverse, the parking assist system performs a bulb check. During the bulb check, all three LEDs located in the rear parking assist display will illuminate for approximately two seconds to indicate that the system is working.

When backing up at speed less than 8 km/h (5 mph), the system is constantly monitoring for object of interest located behind the vehicle. The rear 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, one of the following will occur

  1. If the object is 1-2.5 m (40-96 in) away from the vehicle, the amber outside indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound when the object is first detected.
  2. If the object is 0.6-1.0 m (23-40 in) away from the vehicle, the amber outside and the amber middle indicators will illuminate.
  3. If the object is 0.3-0.6 m (11-23 in) away from the vehicle, the amber outside, amber middle, and red outside indicators will illuminate and the chime sounds continuously.
  4. If the object is less than 0.3 m (12 in) away from the vehicle, the amber outside, amber middle, and red outside indicators will flash and the chime sounds continuously.

If the parking assist system detects a malfunction, a DTC will be stored and the rear object sensor control 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). A chime will sound and the red LED on the rear parking assist display will be illuminated, as a notification to the driver that a malfunction exists and the system is disabled.

Rear Parking Assist System DIC Messages

SERVICE PARK ASSIST

The driver information center (DIC) displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the rear object sensor control 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 rear object sensor control module.

PARK ASSIST OFF

The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the DIC when the parking assist system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The red LED in the rear parking assist display will be illuminated to indicate that the system has been disabled. The rear object sensor control module requests the DIC display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects one of the following conditions

  1. The parking assist system is manually disabled using the driver information center (DIC).
  2. The park brake is applied or not fully released.
  3. An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow bar.
  4. The object alarm sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.
  5. The vehicle bumper is damaged.
  6. Excessive paint thickness on a replacement object alarm sensor.
  7. The object alarm sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.

Object Detection Description and Operation (UD7 Audio Only)

The parking assist system is designed to identify and notify the driver of an object in the vehicle's path when reversing at speeds 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. Rear object sensor control module
  2. Object alarm sensors

Rear Object Sensor Control Module

The rear object sensor control module provides an 8-volt reference and a low reference to the four object alarm 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 rear object sensor control 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 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 rear object sensor control 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).

SERVICE PARK ASSIST

The driver information center (DIC) displays SERVICE PARK ASSIST when the rear object sensor control 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 rear object sensor control module.

PARK ASSIST OFF

The PARK ASSIST OFF message is displayed in the DIC when the parking assist system is disabled due to conditions that disable or inhibit the system. The rear object sensor control module requests the DIC display PARK ASSIST OFF when it detects one of the following conditions

  1. The parking assist system is manually disabled using the driver information center (DIC).
  2. An object is attached to the rear of the vehicle, such as a trailer, bicycle rack, trailer hitch receiver, or tow bar.
  3. The object alarm sensors are covered by snow, mud, dirt, slush, or ice.

  5. Excessive paint thickness on a replacement object alarm sensor.
  6. The object alarm sensors are disrupted by vibrations, like those caused by a large nearby vehicle or from heavy equipment such as a jackhammer.

Pedestrian Impact Detection System Description and Operation

The pedestrian impact detection systems primary function is to provide supplemental protection to vulnerable road users involved in vehicle impacts. The pedestrian impact detection system is also known as the active pedestrian protection system. The pedestrian impact detection system is a functional system for raising the hood to provide sufficient vertical deformation space under the hood. In Europe and Japan an active pedestrian impact detection system is necessary for vehicles which do not provide the required deformation space under the hood. The pedestrian impact detection system includes the following components

  1. Pedestrian Impact Detection Module
  2. Discrimination Sensor (Front Upper Beam Sensor)
  3. Safing Sensor (Rear Upper Beam Sensor)
  4. Two Hood Hinge Actuators

The pedestrian impact detection system will sense and discriminate vulnerable road user impacts and deploy the hood hinge actuators in a timely manner to protect the pedestrian. The term "deployment" applies to the activation of the hood via the hood actuators. The pedestrian impact detection system is designed to sense and discriminate road user impacts (eg. pedestrian, cyclist) from other types of impacts in order to properly deploy the hood actuators. No actions or inputs are required from the driver or passenger to trigger this device. The pedestrian impact detection module uses the safing and discrimination sensor to get acceleration and force information needed for the deployment of the hood hinge actuators. The pedestrian impact detection module deploys the hood actuators using two deployment loops. The pedestrian impact detection system only operates at vehicles speeds between 27 km/h (16 mph) to 45 km/h (27 mph). The pedestrian impact detection module detects internal and interface faults and commands the Service Pedestrian Protection System message in the DIC to indicate a system fault.

After a deployment event, the vehicle operator is able to reset the hood to its normal driving position. After resetting the hood, the pedestrian impact detection system is not required to be fully functional. For full functionality, it is necessary to replace system component(s) at an approved service facility.

Safing Sensor

The safing sensor provides vehicle acceleration information to the pedestrian impact detection module. The safing sensor uses an independent electronic safing method acting through an independent logic circuit such that no single point failure can lead to an unwanted actuation of the hood. The pedestrian impact detection module provides a two wire current loop interface to the safing sensor. The pedestrian impact detection module also provides power and ground to the safing sensor over the same two wire discrete interface.

Discrimination Sensor

The discrimination sensor provides discrete force information to the pedestrian impact detection module. The pedestrian impact detection module uses measurable pedestrian impact data sent from the discrimination sensor to determine the severity of the impact. The pedestrian impact detection module provides a two wire current loop interface to the discrimination sensor. The pedestrian impact detection module also provides power and ground to the discrimination sensor over two separate discrete circuits.

Hood Hinge Actuators

The pedestrian hood actuators deploy only when a valid signal whose energy is capable of triggering deployment of the hood is present. The pedestrian hood actuators only deploy in those events where the activation of the hood is expected. The hood actuator is not expected to deploy in low severity event where the risk of injury is low or in a high severity event like car to car crash. During a frontal pedestrian impact of sufficient force, the pedestrian impact detection module will allow current to flow through the deployment loops in order to deploy the hood hinge actuators. The pedestrian impact detection module also performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity, shorts to ground and shorts voltage. In order to prevent unwanted deployment of the actuator during service, the hood hinge actuator contains 2 shorting bars that will short both high and low circuit pins when disconnected. The pedestrian impact detection module only issues a deployment command when a valid safing signal or confirmation has been generated. No inadvertent deployments will occur in any deployment loop due to a single point fault.

Rearview Camera System Operation

The rearview camera system can help a driver determine how close an object is to the rear bumper within a predefined rearward field of view. The rearview camera system consists of a video camera located at the rear of the vehicle and the navigation radio display.

When the vehicle is running and the transmission is placed into REVERSE, a 12 volt signal is sent to the rearview camera by the body control module (BCM). This signal indicates to the camera that the vehicle is in reverse and image display is requested. The rearview camera receives ignition voltage and a constant ground to power the camera. Video signal + and video signal - circuits carry the video image from the rearview camera to the navigation radio. Additionally, the video signal circuits are shielded to prevent any interference which may lead to a loss of video signal resolution and a degraded video image. The shield is provided a ground path by the rearview camera.

The following conditions may cause a degraded rearview camera image

  1. Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rearview 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 temperatures or extreme temperature changes
