OEM Parking Assist Control Module for 2019-2025 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, & GMC

When buying a replacement Parking Assist Control Module, keep these things in mind:

• Make sure the module is designed for your vehicle's year, make, and model.
• Check the module's condition. If buying used, look for signs of damage or corrosion.
• Ask about any warranty or return policy offered by the seller.

Quality indicators to look for:

• For used OEM modules, look for modules that have been tested and inspected.
• For new aftermarket modules, choose reputable brands known for quality parts.
• Check customer reviews and ratings for the seller and the product.

Typically, you'll receive just the Parking Assist Control Module itself. You may need to reuse existing hardware from your old module.

Replacing the Parking Assist Control Module is generally a medium-difficulty job. Estimated time is 1-2 hours.

Special tools you might need:

• Socket set
• Screwdrivers
• Scan tool (to clear any diagnostic trouble codes after installation)

Critical steps and tips:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before starting.
2. Locate the Parking Assist Control Module (usually in the trunk or under the rear seat).
3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the module.
4. Remove the old module and install the new one.
5. Reconnect the wiring harness.
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
7. Use a scan tool to clear any DTCs and calibrate the system if needed.

While some people can do this job themselves, professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable working with electrical systems or using a scan tool.

Let's compare your options:

• Used OEM: These are genuine factory parts that have been removed from other vehicles.
• New Aftermarket: These are brand-new parts made by third-party manufacturers.

Used OEM: Offers the best value. You get a genuine factory part that's been tested and inspected, all at a lower price than new.

New Aftermarket: Provides a brand-new part built to meet the original equipment specifications.

Parts that are often replaced or checked at the same time:

• Parking sensors
• Wiring harness for the parking assist system

Replacing these parts can help prevent repeat failures because a faulty sensor or damaged wiring can cause the module to fail again.
