SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

SERVICE INFORMATION

This Service Information Bulletin (Revision 4) replaces SI B66 29 19 dated March 2021. 

What's New  (Specific text highlighted):

• Procedure - Add path to reset camera calibration test plan

MODEL

Affected vehicles are equipped with the following option code:

5DN - Parking Assistance System Plus

SITUATION

The top view image of the vehicle is misaligned when observed in the Control Information Display (CID). When the vehicle is parked in a parking spot with line markings, it is clearly noticed in the CID that the lines are not parallel to the side of the vehicle. This may be noticed on either the driver side, passenger side or both.

The arrow identifies the line which is shown as not parallel or straight alongside the vehicle.

CAUSE

Side view camera loose fitment in the exterior mirror bracket, causing changes to the top view image.

CORRECTION

Reposition the camera in the exterior side view mirror with felt tape and/or software update with ISTA 4.26.3x or higher. Target Integration level (I-level) of S15A/S18A-20-11-500 or higher.

PROCEDURE

Depending on the production date of the vehicle being repaired, perform the corresponding procedure outlined below.

Repair steps for G01, G02, G05, G06, G07, F97, F98 produced up to February 1, 2020  :

   3. If possible, drive straight ahead for at least 500 yards
   4. Recheck the camera view to confirm issue is resolved
      NOTE: Multiple drive cycles maybe needed.
10. Determine the vehicle's current I-level by using either AIR or ISPA NEXT application
11. If the vehicle's current I-level is lower (older) than S15A-20-11-500/S18A-20-11-500, program and code the vehicle using ISTA 4.26.3x or higher with I-level 20-11-500 or higher.
