TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS

(a) If a malfunction related to terminal contact or part installation occurs, removal and reinstallation of the suspected part may return the system to normal. However, this the normal condition may only be temporary.

(b) Before disconnecting connectors or removing/installing parts, determine the malfunctioning area by checking and writing down the vehicle conditions (output DTCs, etc.) at the time the malfunction occurred.

(c) Be sure to check for DTCs related to other systems. The pre-collision system may be influenced by malfunctions in other systems.

(d) The pre-collision system uses the CAN communication system. First, confirm that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system. Refer to How to Proceed with Troubleshooting.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

(a) When removing and installing ECUs, sensors, switches or other pre-collision system related parts, perform the following:

  • Make sure that the ignition switch is off unless otherwise specified in the procedure.
  • After removal/installation, check for DTCs and confirm that a normal system code is output.

PRECAUTION WHEN REPLACING COMPONENTS

(a) Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor Assembly:

(1) When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

(2) When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced with a new one, it is necessary to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis alignment and to clear the vehicle control history. Before performing the Driving Adjustment, make sure to read Before Starting Driving Adjustment.

HINT:

Beam axis alignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly can be performed using either Triangle Target, Flat Surface Target or Driving Adjustment.

(2) When replacing the forward recognition camera, always replace it with a new one. If a forward recognition camera which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the forward recognition camera will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.

(3) Do not dirty or damage the lens when replacing the forward recognition camera.

HINT:

If the forward recognition camera lens is touched, replace the forward recognition camera with a new one.

(4) Do not reuse a forward recognition camera that has been dropped or subjected to a strong impact.

(c) Windshield Glass:

(1) When replacing the windshield glass of a vehicle equipped with a forward recognition camera, make sure to use a Toyota genuine part. If a non-Toyota genuine part is used, the forward recognition camera may not be able to be installed due to a missing bracket or the pre-collision system may not operate properly due to a difference in the transmissivity or black ceramic border.

(2) Do not attach stickers, including transparent stickers, or other items to the outer side of the windshield glass assembly within the area in front of the forward recognition camera.
