Side Object Sensors: Notes

The side object sensors are each located behind the rear fascia, positioned so that the sensor is pointing out toward the opposite lane. Each sensor is supplied B+ and ground. The right sensor receives an additional ground. Both sensors communicate independently on the serial data line. The serial data enters the left sensor in a pass-thru configuration, that connects to the right sensor. The scan tool is able to individually communicate with each sensor.

When a vehicle or object is detected by a side object sensor, the sensor will illuminate the indicator located in the appropriate outside rearview mirror.
