Clearance Sonar System -- Operation Check |
SELF-CHECK FUNCTION INSPECTION |
![]() |
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
When the clearance sonar system is turned ON, check that the following occurs: 1) after 0.1 milliseconds, the buzzer sounds for approximately 0.8 seconds, and 2) the system starts the obstacle detection operation.
- HINT:
- If a sensor has an open circuit or a sensor's detection operation malfunctions because it is wet or frozen, a malfunction display is shown in the multi-information display or multi-display, and the buzzer sounds.
- When the sensor condition returns to normal, the system ends normal clearance sonar mode.
- If the clearance sonar main switch is ON and the engine switch is turned on (IG), the buzzer does not sound.
MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY) |
Ultrasonic sensor open circuit
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 left sensor).
- If a sensor has an open circuit, refer to "open circuit is displayed during self-check function" on the Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it.
Ultrasonic sensor frozen
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 left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.
- If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, cleaning the foreign matter from the sensor will return the sensor to normal.
MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-DISPLAY) |
Ultrasonic sensor open circuit
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:
- This example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (rear right sensor).
- If a sensor has an open circuit, refer to "open circuit is displayed during self-check function" on the Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it.
Ultrasonic sensor frozen
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 left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.
- If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, cleaning the foreign matter from the sensor will return the sensor to normal.
DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION |
Detection range measurement
- NOTICE:
- Make sure the vehicle does not move by applying the parking brake firmly.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Release the parking brake lever (M/T).
Move the shift lever to reverse position to check the ultrasonic sensors (rear sensors).
Turn the clearance sonar main switch 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 the φ 60 mm (2.36 in.) pole parallel or perpendicular to the ground. The ranges vary depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).
- The No. 1 ultrasonic sensor side view detection range's hatched area (labeled *1) represents the cross section of the top view detection range's A lines. The hatched area (*1) does not represent the entire side view detection range.
When the ultrasonic sensors (front clearance sonar) have detected an obstacle, check the displays and buzzer sounds.
