  2. BLIND SPOT MONITOR BEAM AXIS CONFIRMATION 

    HINT: 

    The blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation is performed to confirm whether the sensor's beam axis is correct, and perform adjustment of the beam axis by using reflector.

    1. When performing the blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation, move the vehicle to a place where the space shown in the illustration can be secured.

      NOTE:
      • Perform this inspection on level ground.
      • Make sure that there are no metal objects around the vehicle or on the ground.
      • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
      • Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.
      • Do not place an object other than the reflector (such as a large metallic object) in or allow people to enter the inspection area (W 9 m (29.53 ft.) x L 10 m (32.81 ft.) x H 4 m (13.13 ft.)) shown in the illustration.
      • Check that DTC C1ABB and DTC C1ABC are not output.
    2. Place the reflector.
      1. From the center of the rear bumper (center of the emblem), hang a weight with a pointed tip, and mark the rear center point of the vehicle on the ground (mark A).

        NOTE:
        • Set the reflector so that its center is 495 mm (1.62 ft.) above the ground.

        • The center of the triangular pyramid is the reference point for the setting position and angle.
          GTY551354Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        • Set the reflector as shown in the illustration so that the center of the triangular pyramid faces the blind spot monitor sensor.
        • Perform the operation as precisely as possible.
    3. Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis display.
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the blind spot monitor system on.
      4. Turn the Techstream on.
      5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind Spot Monitor Master or Blind Spot Monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master Beam Axis Display or BSM Slave Beam Axis Display.

        Body Electrical > Blind Spot Monitor Master > Utility 

        Tester Display

        Body Electrical > Blind Spot Monitor Slave > Utility 

        Tester Display
        BSM Slave Beam Axis Display
      6. Check the results displayed for the BSM beam axis display.

        Allowable Range

        Item Blind Spot Monitor Sensor LH (Master) Blind Spot Monitor Sensor RH (Slave)
        Angle -3.6 to +3.6° -3.6 to +3.6°
        Distance 2.0 to 3.0 m
        (6.57 to 9.85 ft.)        		 2.0 to 3.0 m
        (6.57 to 9.85 ft.)

        HINT: 

        If the results are outside the allowable range, try again as the reflector setting position may be incorrect or a metal object may exist near the detection area.

      7. Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis adjustment using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind Spot Monitor Master or Blind Spot Monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master Beam Axis Adjustment or BSM Slave Beam Axis Adjustment.

        HINT: 

        When values on the axis display are in the allowable range, performing this adjustment compensates the values to the normal value.

  3. BLIND SPOT MONITOR INSTALLATION CONDITION INSPECTION 
    NOTE:
    • Perform this inspection on level ground.
    • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
    • Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.

    HINT: 

    The blind spot monitor sensor installation condition inspection is performed to confirm whether the sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface (+/-5°) by using a jig, and that the sensor is 16 to 24° from the line parallel to the vehicle center line.

    1. Remove the rear bumper.

      Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - 12/2018]

    2. Attach a jig similar to the one shown in the illustration to the outward facing surface of the blind spot monitor sensor and check that the measurement or angle is within the allowable range to confirm that the blind spot monitor sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface (+/-5°).

      HINT: 

      A digital angle meter can also be used to check that the blind spot monitor sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface or within the allowable range.
