Toyota Parking Assist-Sensor System (W/ Multi-Display) -- Operation Check |
SELF-CHECK FUNCTION INSPECTION (INITIAL CHECK) |

Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the TOYOTA parking assist-sensor system off, or check that the TOYOTA parking assist-sensor system is off.
Turn the engine switch off.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the TOYOTA parking assist-sensor system on and check that the following occurs:
1) After approximately 0.4 seconds, the buzzer sounds for approximately 0.7 to 1.3 seconds.
2) The system starts detection operation mode.- HINT:
- During the initial check, malfunction detection operates and obstacle detection does not operate.
- In the detection operation mode, obstacle detection and malfunction detection operate.
- If a sensor has an open circuit or a sensor malfunctions because it is wet or frozen, a malfunction display is shown in the multi-information display and the buzzer sounds.
- If the engine switch is turned to on (IG) while the TOYOTA parking assist-sensor system is on, the buzzer does not sound even though the malfunction detection operates.
MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY) |
Open circuit indication
If there is an open circuit between the ultrasonic sensor and the clearance warning ECU, or a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- The example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (front corner sensor LH).
- If a sensor has an open circuit, check for DTCs and troubleshoot according to each inspection procedure (LandCruiser RM000000VKU06EX.html).
Frozen indication
If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.
- HINT:
- The example shows that the ultrasonic sensor (front corner sensor LH) is covered with foreign matter.
- If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, refer to "Frozen indication is displayed in self-check function" in the Problem Symptoms Table to inspect the problem (LandCruiser X394000005X0CRD.html).
DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION |
Detection range measurement:
- NOTICE:
- Make sure that the vehicle does not move by applying the parking brake firmly.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Move the shift lever to R to check the ultrasonic sensors.
Turn the TOYOTA parking assist-sensor system on.
Move a φ 60 mm (2.36 in.) pole near each sensor to measure its detection range.
- NOTICE:
- These detection ranges are applicable when positioning a pole with a diameter of 60 mm (2.36 in.) parallel or perpendicular to the ground.
- The ranges vary depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).
- For close-range and medium-range detection, the values shown are for when using a pole with a diameter of 60 mm (2.36 in.). For long-range detection, the values shown are for when using walls.
- The No. 1 ultrasonic sensor side view detection range hatched area*1 represents the cross section of the top view of the detection range along the lines labeled A. The hatched area*1 does not represent the entire side view detection range.
Detection range of front corner sensors (for 8 Sensor Type)
Detection range of front center sensors (for 8 Sensor Type)
Detection range of rear center sensors
Detection range of rear corner sensors
Check the displays and buzzer sounds when the ultrasonic sensors detect an obstacle.
