  2. Frontview camera enabled

The frontview camera module detects a malfunction.

  1. The frontview camera module is disabled.
  2. The frontview camera module disable history buffer stores information why the system was disabled.

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Diagnostic Aids

The frontview camera module disable history buffers are used to store information about the frontview camera module features that are disabled. The buffers will only update if the disable condition changes.

Example: If the data received from the steering wheel angle sensor is Invalid across many ignition cycles then it will only appear in 1 history buffer and not all history buffers. If this condition is the current reason why the frontview camera module is disabled then it will be set in frontview camera module disable history buffer 1. If a new reason occurs, such as vehicle speed validity is invalid, then the invalid steering wheel angle sensor fault will shift into disable history buffer 2 and vehicle speed validity invalid will be in disable history buffer 1. Since there are only 4 disable history buffers, the invalid steering wheel angle sensor will age out if 4 other disable reasons occur since the last invalid steering wheel angle sensor event occurred. Frontview camera module disable history buffer 1 contains the current reason that one of the frontview camera module features is disabled.

  1. Lane Departure Warning Indicator Malfunction

Certain factors will affect the operation of the forward collision alert system. Forward collision alert is intended to detect vehicles. It is not intended to warn the driver of any objects that are not detected as a vehicle such as pedestrians, animals, signs, guard rails, bridges, construction barrels or other stationary or slow moving objects. In few cases the camera may inadvertently detect a vehicle that is not in the path ahead, or the system may occasionally provide unrealistic alerts. This could occur with a turning vehicle ahead, guard rails, traffic signs, or other stationary objects. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. When the system is operating properly, the green vehicle ahead alert indicator will illuminate on the vehicle direction display when the system detects a vehicle in the path ahead. This indicates that all of the required operating conditions are met. The green vehicle ahead alert indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing other vehicles on the road. This can occur if the front view camera is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service.

1. Parking Assist Switch Malfunction

The following is a brief description of potential causes which may aid in diagnosis

  1. Manual Disable - The parking assist system has been disabled through the parking assist switch or audio system personalization menu.
  2. Hitch/Object Attached - The parking assist control module is detecting an object that is attached to the vehicle. Common items such as a hitch receiver, trailer, 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 parking assist 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. Vehicle Overspeed - The vehicle is travelling too fast in reverse at speeds of greater than 8 km/h (5 MPH).
  4. Inhibit - The parking assist 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 a heavy pounding, like that of a nearby jackhammer, or large changes in pressure, such as a large truck air brakes.
  6. Sensor Ring Time - If the sensor fails its own diagnostic initialization the parking assist control 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 may 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.

1. Lane Departure Warning Inoperative. 2. Lane Departure Warning Switch Illumination Inoperative.

Certain factors will affect the operation of the lane departure warning system. When the system is operating properly, the green lane departure indicator will illuminate on the instrument cluster. This indicates that all of the required operating conditions to permit lane departure warning have been met. The green lane departure indicator will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. Additionally, lane departure warnings may occasionally occur in a properly operating vehicle due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation and the vehicle does not require service. The driver information center may also display LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE due to the temporary conditions listed above.
