939003726 - N079 PARKING DEVICE NOT WORKING

The following message appears on the control panel: driving aid not available The ultrasound distance detection system for parking provides the driver with information on distance while approaching obstacles behind or in front of the car (only 8 channel version). The information of the presence/distance of an obstacle is transmitted to the driver by means of acoustic warnings whose frequency depends on the distance of the obstacle. The distance measurement only takes place when the system is activated, whilst only the control unit microcontroller is operational in the inactive state.
the 4 channel system is activated at the key ON with reverse gear engaged whilst the 8 channel system is activated at the key ON, with reverse gear engaged, the LED in the parking sensors activation button on and the vehicle speed below 15 Km/h. The parking sensor node receives the reversing signal from the Body Computer node via the CAN line
1CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTALL OKPROBLEMS ENCOUNTEREDACTION
Connect the Examiner diagnostic equipment and check the following data in CAN mode:

  • no "control unit inactive" signal

  • no "faulty control units" signal
