Adding reverse sensing to 2019 xlt
I inquired a while back if anyone has completed this but have not seen anything. I recently opened Forscan on my truck again to enable my trailer brake controller and I noticed that the APIM is now showing on my truck since the update. For the rear park distance controller is says none, but if I go to write to it I can click on the rear PDC to enable. Wondering if anyone may know that if I enable it, change the rear wiring harness and add the rear sensor if it may work
IPC: 720-02-02 1xxx xxxx
This is what I have found using @Livnitup's spreadsheet
Hello everyone,
I started adding OEM LED/BLIS, ACC, and Reverse Distance Sensors back in 2020 by making additional writing harnesses during that project. I completed OEM LED/BLIS and only completed adding the parts/wiring for the ACC but had IDS / VCN issues so never completed that. Since I disabled it, I had no issues.
This past week I completed the Reverse Distance Sensor project by replacing the bumper, adding the sensors, making the final wiring harness at the bumper, and then the programming changes. This is where I started having issues getting it to work.
I enabled it using the following:
BCM 726-46-02 xxxx xxx1 xxxx
IPC 720-02-02 5xxx xxxx
The PAM module then showed up in Forscan so I programmed it:
736-01-01 3454 0009 xx
736-02-01 0400 0300 xx
736-03-01 0600 4200 xx
736-04-01 0000 2002 xx
736-05-01 1000 0000 xx
At that time, I started getting U2100-00-2B Initial Configuration Not Complete error. I had Forscan reset the module but that didn’t resolve anything.
I then tried another change on the APIM which cleared the PAM U2100-00-2B error but caused a C-CM C1001:08-2E error.
7D0-01-01 xAxxx xxxx xxxx
(My truck as built was 222A 0102 0028)
(Donor truck as built and what I used: 2A2A 0102 0030)
Since that error is the C-CM I added for ACC but not yet activated it, is this causing the problem adding Reverse Sensors or have I chosen the wrong configuration? The C-CM module is programmed for my VIN as I programmed it in 2020 and cross-checked it again today, VIN ASCII to HEX is correct.
Seems this should be simple but yet everything I try doesn’t work. When I made my wiring harness in 2020 for OEM LED/BLIS, I added the wires for reverse sensors and found that C316 was already wired for it and there were pigtails that I only had to butt splice my wires to which I found interesting but saved me from having to go from C316 engine compartment to the BCU. 😊
Any suggestions or options I can try to finish this?

I tried that and it is very hard steel and once you get the correct size hole, you will have to make 3 notches so the sensor brackets fit and do not rotate. That's why I quit for 3 years and finally purchased new bumpers. You also have to have another donor to measure the holes for the proper placement of the hole.
