U031ESoftware Incompatibility With Parking Assist Control Module B

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
How the car detects it
Parking assist control module B is a second park aid unit, found where front and rear sensors are split between controllers or an automatic parking controller sits beside the distance warning; which unit gets the letter B is decided by each maker. U031E is set when a partner module rejects the software or setup of module B, mostly after a replacement or an incomplete update. No manufacturer documents U031E publicly. FCA illustrates how such units react to bad calibration data: on 2015–2016 Jeep Renegade with ParkSense or parallel and perpendicular park assist, the park assist module stored B1000-46, the cluster announced that ParkSense was not available, and only a reflash at stable voltage helped (08-078-16). U0243 is lost contact, U0544 invalid data, U031D covers module A. Distance warnings or self-parking stay off.
