U18A6 CADILLAC Description
The side object sensor modules use radar to determine the presence of objects nearby. The left side object sensor is the master that communicates on serial data. There is a private communication network between the left and right sensors. The scan tool can communicate only with the left sensor. Side blind zone alert is active when the vehicle is out of the park or the parking brake is off on manual transmission vehicles. If a vehicle is detected in the side blind zone, the warning symbols will illuminate on the appropriate side. The warning symbols will vary brightness based on the ambient light conditions. When an object is detected in the left side blind zone, the side object sensor module sends a message to the right sensor through serial data. The right sensor then supplies voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the left side outside rearview mirror. When an object is detected in the right-side blind zone, the right side object sensor will supply a voltage to illuminate the visual indicator on the right side outside rearview mirror. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set a supervised periodic message that includes the transmitter device availability that has not been received.
