The front view camera module detects a malfunction.

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

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

The front view camera module disable history buffers are used to store information about the front view 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 front view camera module is disabled then it will be set in front view 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. Front view camera module disable history buffer 1 contains the current reason that one of the front view camera module features is disabled.

Certain factors will affect the operation of the forward collision alert system. Forward collision alert does not warn the driver of any objects that are not detected as a vehicle, like e.g. pedestrians, animals, signs, guard rails, bridges, construction barrels or other stationary or slow moving objects. In some cases the camera may detect a vehicle that is not in the path ahead or the system may occasionally provide unrealistic alerts. This could respond to 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 or if the view of the front view camera 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, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of the lane departure warning system. For the Front View Camera Disable History refer to DTC B1011 .

When the "Park Assist Off", "Park Asst Blocked See Owner's Manual" or "Park Assist Blocked See Owner's 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.
  1. Perform the «Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle»(ref-610038-S36414632882014042100000) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
  2. Review «Strategy Based Diagnosis»(ref-610038-S01145188892014042100000) for an overview of the diagnostic approach.

1. Rear Cross Traffic Alert System Malfunction
  1. The rear cross traffic alert system uses the same side blind zone sensors so a malfunction may affect either or both systems.
  2. The conditions for disabling the rear cross traffic alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed. A B101E 47 Electronic Control Unit Software VIN Not Programmed DTC in history will not affect sensor operation and the module should not be replaced or reprogrammed for this DTC.
  3. The rear cross traffic system can be disabled if any off the following occur: The driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle personalization menus. The selected mode is retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center message stating that the Rear Cross Traffic System Alert Off shall be displayed. There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules. A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information message stating that the side detection system is temporarily unavailable will be displayed. The rear cross traffic system transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed. Bumper sticks, fascia damage, labels and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The blockage determination is performed with the vehicle in a drive gear. The rear cross traffic alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
  4. Because the sensors are identical, they may be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the other in an attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should NOT be swapped from one vehicle to another.
  5. The rear cross traffic alert system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may occasionally detect pedestrians, shopping carts or other objects. This is normal system operation and does not require service.
  6. The rear cross traffic alert system may indicate an object if a trailer is attached to the vehicle or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. The system may also temporarily disable the system and display the "Side Detection System Unavailable" message.

1. Side Blind Zone Alert Malfunction
  1. The conditions for disabling the side blind zone alert system are captured by DTCs. The drivers information center will display Service Side Detection System if one of the sensors has failed. A B101E 47 Electronic Control Unit Software VIN Not Programmed DTC in history will not affect sensor operation and the module should not be replaced or reprogrammed for this DTC.
  2. The side blind zone system can be disabled if any off the following occur: The driver has selected the Off mode through vehicle personalization menus. The selected mode is retained over ignition cycles. A driver information center message stating that the side blind zone system is off shall be displayed and the outside mirror indicators will be OFF. There is a loss of serial data communication with a sensor or between modules.
  3. The side blind zone may be temporarily unavailable due to the following: A blockage condition exists (i.e. mud/snow buildup in front of the sensor). A driver information message "Side Detection System Unavailable" will be displayed. The side blind zone system transitions back to the normal operating state when the blockage is removed. Bumper sticks, fascia damage, labels and heavy rain storms may also cause this condition. The blockage determination is performed with the vehicle in a drive gear. The side blind zone alert system will read the GPS latitude and longitude on the serial data bus and calculate if the vehicle is within a Radio Astronomy zone. These zones are located in Europe and Japan and require the sensors to be turned off. The "Side Detection System Unavailable" message will be displayed to the driver when this occurs.
  4. Because the sensors are identical, they may be swapped from one side of the vehicle to the other in an attempt to isolate a concern. Sensors should NOT be swapped from one vehicle to another.
  5. The side blind zone system is designed to ignore stationary objects; however, the system may occasionally detect guard rails, signs, trees, shrubs or other stationary objects as an object in the blind zone. This is normal system operation and does not require service.
  6. The side blind zone system may indicate an object in the blind zone if a trailer is attached to the vehicle or a bicycle or object is extending out to either side of the vehicle. This is normal operation and does not require service.

1. Lane Departure Warning Switch Inoperative. 2. Lane Departure Warning Switch Indicator Malfunction.

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.

Additionally, the Front View Camera Disable History can give useful hints about what affected the operation of the lane departure warning system. For the Front View Camera Disable History, refer to DTC B1011 .
