Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (DISTANCE CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Radar Cruise / Data List.
    5. Check the Data List to confirm function of the distance control switch.
      RADAR CRUISE

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Distance Control Switch Distance control switch signal / ON or OFF ON: Distance control switch on
      OFF: Distance control switch off
      -

      OK

      The display changes in accordance with switch operation.

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   7 

  2. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH RH 
    1. Remove the steering pad switch RH. Refer to REMOVAL .

      *1 Distance Control Switch - -
      *a Component without harness connected
      (Steering Pad Switch RH)
      - -
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      z9-4 - z9-6 Distance control switch ON Below 2.5 Ω
      z9-4 - z9-6 Distance control switch OFF 1 MΩ or higher
    3. Install the steering pad switch RH. Refer to INSTALLATION .

    NG → See step   8 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    NOTE:

    The spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the information shown in the link/brackets.

    1. Remove the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Spiral Cable Sub-assembly Position Specified Condition
      z9-4 - L52-11 (DIST) Center Below 3 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right
      z9-6 - L52-2 (ECC) Center Below 3 Ω
      2.5 rotations to the left
      2.5 rotations to the right

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z9-4 - L52-11 (DIST) Always Below 3 Ω
      z9-6 - L52-2 (ECC) Always Below 3 Ω
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *a Component without harness connected
      (Spiral with Sensor Cable Sub-assembly)

      HINT: 

      The spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.

    3. Reinstall the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION .

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DRIVING SUPPORT ECU - SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Disconnect the driving support ECU assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L151-6 (SPSW) - L52-11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L151-6 (SPSW) or L52-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (DRIVING SUPPORT ECU - SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
