SITUATION
The functionality of the left rear SRR sensor could be reduced which would display the Driving Assistance
Check Control Message.

AFFECTED VEHICLES
Vehicles which require this Service Action to be completed will show it as “Open” when checked either in
AIR, the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or with ISPA NEXT.

CAUSE
The SRR sensor hardware.

of both rear SRR sensors replaced. Refer to “Affected Vehicles.”
If both Service Actions show open on the vehicle, specific flat rate labor operation usage is required to
eliminate the overlap labor (See below for additional information).
