Active Park Assist

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford Police Interceptor Utility and 2017 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Some vehicles equipped with EPAS may also be equipped with active park assist. The active park assist system is controlled by the PAM (which is internal to the BCM) and when activated, can detect a parking space and steer the vehicle into the space by sending commands to the PSCM (the driver still controls the throttle, brakes and transmission). The active park assist system is comprised of several systems and modules working together to aid in parallel parking maneuvers. The presence of certain Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in any of those systems or modules may either keep the active park assist system from being enabled or may disable the system if currently being used.
