Deocde distance values in PDC CAN-messages of Ford Mondeo MK4 FL

Hey Guys!
I have a Ford Mondeo MK4 Facelift with an BS7T-15K866-AE PAM-Module. It sends on MS-CAN ID 0x131.

I'd like to decode the message to get the distances measured from the modules sensors (my car got 4 in front and 4 in back). As i have the Convers+ Mod with optical PDC i did some tests with the front sensor bridge.

It seams the distance-data is send in the lower 3 byte of the CAN-Message (D7 ... D0)

The optical PDC shows a "beam" symbol for each sensor. The symbol getting short the nearer the object is detected, and it also changes color.
W = White = No object in range
Y = Yellow = Object in range, far away
R = Red = Object near, pay attention
! = Red + Exclamationmark = Object nearer than 20 cm, collision possible
For the PDC it seams there are only 4 possible values, meaning 2 Bit per Sensor. But this could be even more and only showing 4 values... don't know.

Now i put some of the values here with my results of the optical PDC, giving each sensor with color:

Code: Select all

D2 D1 D0   D2        D1       D0
00 00 00 = 000000000000000000000000 = WWWW
0D EF 40 = 000011011110111101000000 = WWWW (strange, eh?)
00 5A C0 = 000000000101101011000000 = WYYW
00 6B 40 = 000000000110101101000000 = WrrW 
0D DA C0 = 000011011101101011000000 = WYYR (D1 flapping between DA und 5A)
0D 5A C0 = 000011010101101011000000
0D D6 A0 = 000011011101011010100000 = WYYR (D1 flapping D6, 56)
0D 56 A0 = 000011010101011010100000
0D 82 A0 = 000011011000001010100000 = WYWR (D1 flapping 82, 02)
0D 02 A0 = 000011010000001010100000
0D 00 00 = 000011010000000000000000 = WWWR (D1 flapping 80, 00)
0D 80 00 = 000011011000000000000000
0D 00 1E = 000011010000000000011110 = RWWR (D1 flapping 80, 00)
0D 80 1E = 000011011000000000011110
0D 00 1F = 000011010000000000011111 = !WWR (D1 flapping 00, 80)
0D 80 1F = 000011011000000000011111
0D 64 60 = 000011010110010001100000 = WRYR (D1 flapping 64, E3)
0D E3 60 = 000011011110001101100000
0D 5E E0 = 000011010101111011100000 = WYYR (D1 flapping 5E, DE)
0D DE E0 = 000011011101111011100000
0D 64 60 = 000011010110010001100000 = WRYR (D1 flapping 64, E3)
0D E3 60 = 000011011110001101100000
0D 5E E0 = 000011010101111011100000 = WYYR (D1 flapping 5E, DE)
0D DE E0 = 000011011101111011100000
Could you find an code in this?

Did you log these on can ID 131

When i look at the reverse cam view i see more steps in each bar, so maybe my assumption that each sensor is only using 2 bit is wrong.

go4it maybe wrong cuz you have forgot one color...
its

withe
GREEN
yello
red red+!

but its white while nothing send on canbus .... so first color is green...no changes for your example, or?
