Parking Aid — Vehicles With: Rear Parking Aid
Refer to
Wiring Diagrams Section 413-13, for
schematic and connector information. General Equipment
Ford diagnostic equipment
Principles of Operation
NOTE: The rear parking aid system will be
de-activated when a Ford rear trailer tow module
is attached to the vehicle.
The ultrasonic parking aid system will default to
enabled when the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position, the system is activated by selecting
reverse gear. The parking aid system will be
disabled if a fault is detected in one of the four rear
parking aid sensors, the parking aid speaker or the
parking aid module. An error tone approximately
3 seconds long will be emitted from the rear parking
aid speaker if a fault is detected. The rear parking
aid speaker will also sound for approximately 3
seconds if an error is detected at each ignition
cycle or if an error is detected when the system
has been activated.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical
damage.
Visual Inspection Chart Electrical
– Fuse(s)
– Wiring harness(s)
– Electrical connector(s)
– Battery junction box (BJB)
– Rear parking aid sensor(s)
– Rear parking aid speaker
– Parking aid module
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step
4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the Ford diagnostic equipment to the data link
connector (DLC) and select the vehicle system
to be tested from the diagnostic menu.
5. Retrieve the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)s and refer to the DTC Index.
6. If no DTCs are retrieved or there is no communication with the module, proceed to the
Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.

2. Switch the multimeter to the voltage function.
3. Connect the leads of the multimeter across the
battery terminals.
4. Read the voltage (base voltage).
5. Start the engine.
6. Run the engine at 1500 rpm with no electrical load.
7. Read the voltage. The voltage should be in the range of 14.1 volts to 15.1 volts. If the voltage
increase is less than 2.5 volts above the base
voltage, carry out the Load Test. If the voltage
increase is greater than 2.5 volts, REFER to the
Ford diagnostic equipment. Generator On-Vehicle Tests - Load Test
1. With the engine running, turn on the air
conditioning (if equipped), turn the blower motor
to high speed and the headlamps to high beam.
2. Increase the engine speed to 2000 rpm. The voltage should increase a minimum of 0.5 volts
above the base voltage. If the voltage does not
increase as specified, REFER to the Ford
approved diagnostic tool. If the voltage
increases as specified, the charging system is
charging correctly.

Battery Tester Reading WARNING: Do not recharge the battery.
Make sure that the surface charge was removed. A "REPLACE BATTERY" result could also mean
a poor connection between the battery cables and the battery. Check the connections are OK and
retest. If the result remains the same, INSTALL a NEW battery
REFER to: Battery(414-01 Battery, Mounting and
Cables, Removal and Installation).
REPLACE BATTERY or BAD CELL BATTERY
In addition it is advisable to check the vehicle electrical system. Check that the generator is functioning
correctly and the vehicle does not have an excessive key-off load (in general this should be under
20mA after 40 minutes of key off).
