However, when error is found even in one sensor, it sounds buzzer corresponding to faulty sensor instead of the initial starting alarm. When PAS ON switch is OFF, system doesn't work. Function for normal mode entrance is as follows.
* In the initial mode, IPM (BCM) judges only sensor failure.
When the gear is on D, system function is as follows.
