Default Serv park Assist???

Just got my first message.....

Serv Park assist...and the light on the park assist (above rear sliding glass) is all lit up like a christmas tree.

300 miles and I have to schedule a dang appointment.

while they have it they can fix the squeaking plasatic in the area of the stereo and temp controls....

The same thing happened to me. I picked up some dry cleaning and hung the shirts on the hooks located next the the park sensor indicator light, put the truck in reverse and bam! Light up like a christmas tree and ringing non stop. I thought a kid was behind me or something. I got out of my truck and look but nothing behind me. Put the truck in reverse again and it went off saying service park Assistant. I drove home, parked turned the truck on and off a few time trying to reset the computer and it went off and never came back on.

Maybe try and clean the sensors on the bumber and see if that helps.

Good luck
Brian

mine came on twice in the 1st 800 miles. 1st time, i didnt even get off the dealer lot. all lights were lit up on left side, and message warning. 2nd time, completely inop. all red lights and constant beep in reverse. both times, it went back to normal after a few days. donno what it is, kind of annoying though.

Mine has done that before but it had some ice over one of the sensors. Cleaned the ice off and everything was fine.
