I would like to install a parking assist system on my 2013 F-150 STX. I pulled the control module, sensors, sounder and on/off switch from a 2001 Windstar for $18.00. I familiarized myself with the basic installation requirements based on wiring diagram I found on the Autozone website. However, there are a couple points on the Parking Assist Module (PAM) that have me stumped.
Reverse Input (Pin #9) - This point is connected to the right reversing lamp and the Rear Electronic Module. I assume this is a 12v input that activates the PAM when you place the vehicle in reverse. Question: If my assumption is correct, can I simply tap the right reversing lamp and forget about the Rear Electronic Module?
ISO 9141 (Pin #5) - This point is connected to the DLC and several modules, i.e. Left Power Sliding Door Module, Right Power Sliding Door Module and Restraint Control Module. Question: Will the PAM operate properly if I leave this point disconnected?
