Parking Aid — Vehicles With: Front Parking Aid
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 413-13, for
schematic and connector information.
General Equipment
Ford diagnostic equipment
Principles of Operation
The ultrasonic parking aid system activates when
the ignition switch is turned to the RUN and when
the parking brake is OFF. If a front parking aid
switch is fitted the system will be de-activated and
a light emitting diode (LED) will indicate the state
of the system. A lit LED will indicate that the system
is currently deactivated. The parking aid system
will be disabled if a fault is detected in one of the
four front 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.
If the rear parking aid speaker is inoperative the
error tone will sound from the front parking aid
speaker.
Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical
damage.
