@miketeeveedub5779 4 жыл бұрын

Great video as always Brian! I had the PAN fail on my Ford Five Hundred. I was able to diagnose it by very carefully listening to each parking sensor when in reverse. They emit a very slight buzzy sound (they use ultrasound) when functioning. In my case the sensor was fine - it was the wiring harness behind the right rear tire to that sensor that was broken. If you live in the salt belt be sure to check your wiring FIRST before purchasing the sensor. Don't fire the parts cannon at your vehicle like I did without proper diagnosis. BTW - I have an ELM 327 that I bought off ebay - I'm definitely going to use the Forscan software from now on when diagnostics are required! Cheers!

@1BrianSawyer 4 жыл бұрын

You can also do this simply by ear without any tools. Do not start the vehicle, put in in reverse and listen to each sensor by basically putting your ear to the sensor. Functioning sensors will have a very fast tapping noise that you can here up close and the faulty one will not. I did this with my 06 Explorer and it was an easy fix. Replaced it with the same sensor in the video description.

@Vchat20 4 жыл бұрын

One thing to keep in mind with the cheap ELM adapters is for newer Ford vehicles with multiple CAN buses they will only see the one bus. You can buy them that are pre-modded to switch between the most common HS and MS can buses manually or mod them yourself with some basic soldering skills. There's also more expensive ones such as OBDLink which will be able to auto-switch. So for most things the barebones ELM adapters are fine, but it will depend on the age of your vehicle and the modules you are trying to work with. Brian covered this in his pinned post mentioning the MScan capable adapter, just figured I'd go into further detail.

@travlnman55 8 ай бұрын

My 2005 F350 parking aid system just started to malfunction about 2 weeks ago. It started with the beeper sounding continuously as a steady tone whenever I shifted inti reverse, like you were about to hit something, Now it's gone silent. I'm going to order the adapter and download the Forscan software. Thanks to your excellent video, I feel confident I can get this fixed.

@rickf.9966 4 жыл бұрын

I have the bluetooth adapter and was able to add a toogle switch to it, wire to the pins on the adapter and I am now able to read the modules on the HS and MS bus on my 2011 Ford F150 by moving the toogle switch between the two buses.

I’ve checked and replaced fuses, taken then connector out and put it back in the review mirror, disconnected the battery and literally everything I would’ve done when I was a technician. I think it’s the APIM but I don’t wanna jump on a $100 part before asking you if you have any advice. Thanks for the help in advance and I love the videos!

Worked like a champ on my super duty to fix the park aid. Not so much luck on my 2003 Lincoln town car. Forscan doesn't find the PAM module even after I replaced it and put two new sensors in. I know module powers up because when I put in reverse the Display overhead says park assist disabled. Strangely if I am near a building when I put in reverse it will work briefly and then go to disabled.

@acts2211 4 жыл бұрын

You have to replace the module it's located behind the rear seat under the package tray trim I the same problem on my 2005 Lincoln it's about $180 brand new replacement part work like a charm after I replace the module. Be sure you get the updated part number don't replace it with the exact same part of my memory is correct the original part on my 05 Lincoln had an 03 date code for the replacement I believe had an 06 date code

Any more in depth diag for this? I ask because on my 05 it stopped working, I replaced all the sensors and when it didnt fix it I sent it to Ford. They called me and told me "we didnt find any codes, if you want us to continue to diag it will be $149 an hour. If you dont want to continue you can come pick it up all you owe is the $149 diag fee for what we have done". Really..... $149 to plug it into the computer and scan the codes?
