Circuit/System Description

Two Side Object Sensor Modules are located on each side of the vehicle near the corners of the rear fascia. The modules are provided with B+ and ground. The Side Object Sensor Module - Right has an additional ground to distinguish it from the Side Object Sensor Module - Left. The Side Object Sensor Module - Left is connected to the serial data line. The serial data line is passed through the module to the Side Object Sensor Module - Right.

When vehicle speed is greater than 10 km/h (6.2 MPH) and either Side Object Sensor Module detects an object in the detection area, the module provides a signal to the appropriate Outside Rearview Mirror to illuminate the amber telltale LED.
