Orchardhomebuilders Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I recently bought a used 2016 transit connect XLT LWB. It has factory backup camera and sensors. Neither of those work. The cluster displays a Parking Aid Fault message. The backup camera fault also shows on the screen when in reverse. The van does not have a rear fuse box, but has a parking aid module in the location where the rear fuse box would be. I would love tonget this working. Please help me figure this out!

Don Ridley Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 You need to check two basic areas: 1. Wiring and power to the PAM. 2. Scan for codes and check the function of the sensors. I'll find and post the wiring diagrams, but you most likely will need to download Forscan and buy an adapter to use it. Forscan is free and the adapter is $40-100 depending on the quality. Start by researching Forscan (posts on this and other Ford forums). You may need to apply for an "extended license"...it's all on the Forscan website. This license will allow you to upload new configuration files which may will be needed if your PAM is dead. While this may seem like a lot of work, it will save you a ton of money compared to going to a dealership. Forscan.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Ridley Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Attached are the wiring diagrams for the parking aid module and camera. Note the camera does not use the PAM. So you may have a problem in the BCM or communincation network. Here are some troubleshooting steps I saw in the Forscan forum. parking aid.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windguy Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 @Orchardhomebuilders See the thread link below regarding issues I had with the parking sensors on my 2015 Gen 2. My backup camera worked just fine. The parking sensor (front and rear) system was disabled because the rear speaker was bad. Hope it helps you. Good luck!
