[MENTION=145598]sheltonfilms[/MENTION] Thank you for the details especially the mail address. I am guessing it is a direct mailing address as that address is not mentioned in the Ford Owner website.

The update I have is the dealer is again willing to look at it sometime this week. I mentioned my displeasure and their failure but the same routine of leaving the SUV at their dealership is what is being suggested. I will press them on details if they contacted Ford or if they will have a Ford Engineer this time when I drop it. I drive quite a distance to get to the dealer each time and wonder if I should take it to a different dealer.

PAM DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
B1B36:96 Right Front Outer Sensor: Component Internal Failure A continuous memory and on-demand DTC that sets when the RHF outer parking aid sensor has internally failed or has an incorrect attenuation time.
B1B38:96 Right Front Inner Sensor: Component Internal Failure A continuous memory and on-demand DTC that sets when the RHF inner parking aid sensor has internally failed or has an incorrect attenuation time.
B1B40:96 Left Front Outer Sensor: Component Internal Failure A continuous memory and on-demand DTC that sets when the LHF outer parking aid sensor has internally failed or has an incorrect attenuation time.
B1B42:96 Left Front Inner Sensor: Component Internal Failure A continuous memory and on-demand DTC that sets when the LHF inner parking aid sensor has internally failed or has an incorrect attenuation time.
Possible Sources
Front parking aid sensor
PAM (integral to the BCM)
NOTE: Before disconnecting the BCM or any of the parking aid sensors, verify the connectors are properly seated and latched.
PINPOINT TEST I : B1B36:96, B1B38:96, B1B40:96, B1B42:96 I1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) FROM THE PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PAM self-test.
Check the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are parking aid Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) other than B1B36:96, B1B38:96, B1B40:96 or B1B42:96 recorded?
Yes For all other Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) REFER to the DTC Chart in this section
No GO to I2
I2 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH NO OBJECTS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
NOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.
Clean the front bumper and sensors with high-pressure water.
Make sure the parking aid sensors are flush-mounted in their bezel.
Ignition ON.
Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LFI_DIST, LFO_DIST, RFI_DIST, RFO_DIST). The PID reads 2,540mm (100in) on a correctly functioning sensor.
Does the PID read 2,540mm (100in)?
Yes GO to I3
No GO to I4
I3 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSOR DISTANCE PARAMETER IDENTIFICATIONS (PIDS) WITH A TEST OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
NOTE: Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear of anything that can activate the parking aid system.
Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the PAM parking aid sensor distance Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (LFI_DIST, LFO_DIST, RFI_DIST, RFO_DIST).
While monitoring the Parameter Identifications (PIDs), move a test object into and out of the detection zone behind each sensor. For an example of a test object,
REFER to: Azimuth System Check (413-13A Parking Aid - Vehicles With: Rear Parking Aid, General Procedures).
Does the PID approximately match the distance from the test object to the front bumper of the vehicle?
Yes GO to I5
No GO to I4
I4 CHECK THE PARKING AID SENSORS
Ignition OFF.
Install a new sensor for the suspect parking aid sensor.
REFER to: Front Parking Aid Sensor (413-13A Parking Aid - Vehicles With: Rear Parking Aid, Removal and Installation).
Ignition ON.
Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Repeat the self-test. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes GO to I5
No INSTALL a new rear parking aid sensor.
REFER to: Rear Parking Aid Sensor (413-13A Parking Aid - Vehicles With: Rear Parking Aid, Removal and Installation).
I5 CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION
Ignition OFF.
Disconnect and inspect all BCM and related in-line connectors.
Repair:
corrosion (install new connector or terminals – clean module pins)
damaged or bent pins – install new terminals/pins
pushed-out pins – install new pins as necessary
Reconnect the BCM and related in-line connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
