Inspection Procedure

NOTE:
  • When the distance control ECU is replaced with a new one, initialization must be performed (See INSTALLATION  ).
  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor is replaced with a new one, adjustment of the radar sensor beam axis must be performed (See ADJUSTMENT  ).
  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DISTANCE CONTROL ECU - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the distance control ECU and millimeter wave radar sensor connectors.
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below

      Standard Resistance

    NG: REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU  (See DISTANCE CONTROL ECU  )

    OK: GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. REPLACE MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR 
    1. Replace the millimeter wave radar sensor (See MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR  )
    2. Adjust the millimeter wave radar sensor (See ADJUSTMENT  )
  4. CHECK DTC 
    1. Clear the DTC (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  )
    2. Turn the cruise control main switch on
    3. Drive the vehicle at the require speed (45 km/h (27 mph) or higher)
    4. Check if the same DTC is recorded (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  )
