Circuit/System Description
The body control module (BCM) supplies B+ to the rearview camera when the transmission is placed into reverse.
The object alarm sensors are 3-wire sensors that are used to determine the distance between the vehicle and an object of interest. The rear object sensor control module supplies 8 V to the object alarm sensors via the 8 V reference circuit and provides ground via the low reference circuit. The rear object sensor control module triggers the sensors in a sequential loop. After each sensor transmits, the rear object sensor control module uses the sensor echo received through the signal circuit to calculate the distance and position of an object.
The parking assist system can be disabled by pressing the parking assist disable switch. When pressed, the parking assist disable signal circuit is pulled to ground. When the parking assist system is disabled, the rear object sensor control module will ground the parking assist disable indicator control circuit, illuminating the indicator.
The parking assist system can be disabled by pressing the parking assist disable switch. When the parking assist system is disabled the rear object sensor control module will ground the parking assist disable indicator control circuit, illuminating the indicator.
When the ignition is turned ON, the rear object sensor control module receives the vehicle identification number (VIN) from the body control module (BCM). The rear object sensor control module will compare the VIN received to the VIN stored in memory.

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 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.

When the transmission is placed into REVERSE while engine is running, a 12 V signal is sent to the inside rearview mirror and rearview camera indicating that camera operation is requested. Ignition voltage and ground are supplied to the rearview camera; the inside rearview mirror is supplied a common ignition voltage and ground source that is shared with other mirror operations.

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
- Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
- Dark conditions
- Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
- Damage to the rear of the vehicle
- 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
- Ice, snow, or mud has built up on the rear vision camera
- Dark conditions
- Extreme light conditions, such as glare from the sun or the headlights of another vehicle
- Damage to the rear of the vehicle
- 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
- Rear object sensor control module
- Object alarm sensors
- Parking assist disable switch
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 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).
