OPERATION CHECK
1. CHECK INITIAL CHECK FUNCTION
(a) Check the initial check function for the buzzer.
(1) When the back sonar or clearance sonar switch assembly is turned on, check that the following occurs: 1) after 0.2 seconds, the buzzer sounds for approximately 0.7 to 1.3 seconds, and 2) the system starts the obstacle detection operation.
(b) Check the initial check function for the sensor.
2. MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY)
(a) Open circuit indication
(1) If there is an open circuit between the ultrasonic sensor and the clearance warning ECU assembly or a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
The example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor).
(b) Frozen indication
(1) If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
3. DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION
(a) Detection range measurement:
NOTICE:
Make sure that the vehicle does not move by applying the parking brake firmly.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(2) Move the shift lever to R to check the ultrasonic sensors.
(b) Turn the clearance sonar main switch on.
(c) Move a 60 mm (2.36 in.) diameter pole near each sensor to measure its detection range.
NOTICE:
These detection ranges are applicable when positioning the 60 mm (2.36 in.) diameter pole parallel or perpendicular to the ground. The detection range varies depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).
HINT:
Have an assistant move the pole.
