blind spot sensor

[luvemhot]

I have a 2010 SHO the driver side blind spot sensor does not work. I have looked all over and can not find a write up on how to replace it.
Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks Keith

There isn' a sensor per say, but a module behind the appropriate side under the bumper cover. It' actually called a Side Obstical Detection Module (L or R for the associated side). Looks like the this older unit the module controls the LED in the mirror too. When you say it' inop the module may not be bad. Check codes first.

Does the LED still prove out when starting the car?

When driving the light on the drivers side mirror dose not work when passing cars. It does on the passenger side The drivers side mirror light does not light up when I start the car. I also have a oxygen sensor code. I just had to replace the battery if that might matter.

Well. Depending in what scanner you used it might not pick up body codes as I don' think that would be a O.B.D. II required D.T.C.

Engine operation would not affect S.O.D. operation. I would hate to habe you pay a dealership to program a module for an easy circuit fault.

I went to auto zone I dont think that there scanner does body codes cuz they said I need to go to the dealer to find what the blind spot failure was.

Ok. Cool. Maybe something more cost effective. I looked at the wiring diagram and the S.O.D.s have the same electical connections. You can swap them left and right just to see if the l.e.d. lights or not if your feeling adventurous. Since the L.E.D. is controlld by the module you should have no problems with connection. Mounting would be a different story.

I do know that when I was having some problems years ago on my driver's blind spot system, the dealer replaced a module behind the mirror. They said that when the opened it up, it "practically fell out". John's idea about swapping the bumper modules is an excellent one. If that proves the bumper module good, then look into how to do the same with the devices in the mirror housings, if possible.

Thanks. It has not worked for about one month yesterday it started working. I am going to get under the car and put some electrical grease in the connection.
Thanks again Keith
