OUTPUT SIGNAL ITEM 

Reception unit Signal name Description
Combination meter CAN communication Meter display signal Vehicle ahead detection indicator signal Transmits a signal to display a state of the system on the combination meter.
PFCW/FEB system indicator signal Transmits a signal to turn ON the PFCW/FEB system indicator.
Buzzer output signal Transmits a buzzer output signal to activate the buzzer.
ICC sensor ITS communication Vehicle speed signal Transmits a vehicle speed calculated by the ADAS control unit.

DESCRIPTION

NOTE:

The PFCW/FEB system shares the diagnosis function with ICC system.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 

The distance from the vehicle in front of the vehicle ahead and a relative speed are calculated by using the ICC sensor and an ICC sensor signal is transmitted to the ADAS control unit via ITS communication. When judging the necessity of warning according to the received ICC sensor signal, the ADAS control unit transmits a warning buzzer signal and meter display signal to the combination meter via CAN communication.

PFCW OPERATING CONDITION

NOTE:

ON/OFF of PFCW/FEB system is performed with the integral switch of the combination meter information display.
