Turning Off Parking Assist Permanently

Anyone know how to turn off parking assist permanently? I bought a grill guard and had it installed. Did not know it was going to interfere with parking assist. Not really all that important, as I usually back in when parking and use the camera. When I go into the infotament system and turn it off there, you would think it would stay turned off. Nope. When I start the truck back on it comes on again. I looked through the fuse diagrams to see if there was a dedicated fuse. Found nothing. If I detach the sensors in the front, I get error messages. The dealer had no clue either. Any ideas?

May need to find out what the resistance is and put a resistor in the harness to fool the BCM into thinking the sensors are still plugged in.

No and no. They're ultrasonic so a resistor won't do it. Pulling a fuse will just get another warning. Not sure if there is a solution right now for this.

Probably need to have the BCM tuned to have it be off by default. Then you could still turn it on if you wanted by pushing the button on the center stack. There is a member that does BCM tuning, but I always forget his name....

GTPprix (Chris) is who does BCM programming.

Another thought is some guys who have the Bull Bars drilled holes and mounted the sensors on the bar.

This may help, but it is not directly talking about the new 2014 half tons trucks. Read the section about "removing rear park assist". Here's a link and an abstract from the article:

http://sandyblogs.com/techlink/?m=201404

 

1. On all model years, disable the Rear Park Assist Module (in most cases, by removing the OBS DET fuse 20, 10 amp, from the left I/P fuse block).

2. For 2007-2009 models, contact the Techline Customer Support Center to obtain an Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) calibration to disable the option.

3. For 2010-2014 models, remove power to the IPC for several minutes by disconnecting the battery. When power is reconnected, the IPC will not see the Park Assist Module on the low speed data buss (because it was disabled in Step 1) and reconfigure the IPC without Rear Park Assist. After this is complete, there will be not any Rear Park Assist warning messages displayed.

What does IPC stand for? I am not looking to remove a warning. I am just looking to permanently turn it off. Someone mentioned BCM programming. I am not even sure what that is or if there is someone local to me that can do that. It just would be nice if the infotainment system would remember by setting when I turn it off in the menu after my truck restarts like it remembers my other settings. It doesn't make sense why it does't retain that info.

Pretty sure that procedure only applies to rear park assist on previous generation HD trucks. The procedure exists for trucks that were bought with park assist and then had the bumper removed to accommodate a utility body or similar.

So it sounds like I'm SOL for my 2014 Silverado. lol I just wish the infotainment system settings would stick with the park assist settings. Good grief!

I just installed a bull bar on my 2016 Sierra and have the same issue. Any updates that you’ve found? Thanks!

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
