CHECK MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR

DTC U0235 Lost Communication with Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor


DESCRIPTION

The millimeter wave radar sensor and distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) transmit the data for general vehicle control and diagnosis function along the communication line. The millimeter wave radar sensor transmits information about the vehicle in front to the distance control ECU (cruise control ECU).

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
U0235
The ECM detects a communication error signal (from the millimeter wave radar sensor to the distance control ECU) for 0.15 sec. or more while the dynamic radar cruise control is in operation
  1. Communication circuit
  2. Millimeter wave radar sensor
  3. Distance control ECU (Cruise control ECU)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. When the distance control ECU is replaced with a new one, initialization must be performed (Click here).
  2. When the millimeter wave radar sensor is replaced with a new one, adjustment of the radar sensor beam axis must be performed (Click here).
1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DISTANCE CONTROL ECU - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR)


    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Cruise Control.Cruise Control System. Dtc U0235 Lost Communication With Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor

  1. Disconnect the distance control ECU and millimeter wave radar sensor connectors.

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

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    J17-22 (LRDD) - B9-3 (LRDD)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    J17-13 (IGB) - B9-5 (IGB)
    		Always
    		Below 1 Ω
    J17-22 (LRDD) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher
    J17-13 (IGB) - Body ground
    		Always
    		10 kΩ or higher

  1. Disconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester Connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    J17-13 (IGB) - Body ground
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		10 to 14 V
    J17-22 (LRDD) - J17-10 (SGND)
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		4.5 to 5.5 V

  1. Reconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor connector.

  1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

    Standard voltage:
    Tester connection
    		Condition
    		Specified Condition
    B9-5 (IGB) - Body ground
    		Engine switch on (IG)
    		10 to 14 V

  1. Check the signal waveform between terminal LRDD (B9-3) of the millimeter wave radar sensor and body ground.

    OK:
    A waveform similar to that in the illustration on the left is output.
    HINT:
    1. Gauge set: 2 V/DIV., 10 msec./DIV.
    2. Condition: Engine switch on (IG)
