Default Service Park Assist.............

Anyone else seen this message? The light on the dash will not go out when you press the button. First came on after a wash here in frozen South Dakota, so I thought that may have something to do with it. It has not moved for 2 weeks, sitting in the heated garage, so Iam pretty sure that if ice was the problem, it is not there anymore. Taking it in on Monday, but I thought I would check here too, just incase it may be something simple. 2009 Laramie model.

Thanks, Scooby

I'm in SoDak, too, and I get that all the time when snow/ice get on one of the rear sensors. It goes away when the conditions are better. I don't see a way around it, so I ignore it. Normally mine is good after sitting in the garage, maybe there's some residual dirt left behind on yours?

I just took my truck in for this yesterday and they told me that once the sensors detect they are blocked they need to clear the error code on the computer

My error code goes away everytime I turn the key off. It will come back immediately only if the sensor's still blocked. It's possible the code is still stored of course, but it's no longer on the message screen.

Ya most of this winter as soon as my sensors were cleaned it would no longer display it in the messages but for whatever reason this last time the dealer needed to clear it

Same here, the dealer told me he has seen the message come on when too much steam is coming out of the tail pipes on the trucks with dual rear exhaust systems.

I had the same issue...there was a reflash for the park system if I'm not mistaken, maybe check to see if you've received that. Mine acts up after a car wash/freeze but typically goes away after parking in the garage.

im up in canada, i just shut them off for the winter months. most times they are frosted over or too dirty to work. the dual rear exhaust definately exagerates the problem. I had the same issue with my srt grand cherokee

There is a technical service bulletin for the trucks with dual exhaust to update the software for the park assist module. TSB 08-010-09
