System Operation Specification

  1. INIT mode
    1. System initializing time is 500ms after IGN1+ R Gear.
    2. RPAS recognizes LID and sets the sensor ID up during initialization.
    3. RPAS activates each sensor and then executes the diagnosis after finishing initialization of BCM
    4. R-PAS Starting buzzer" is normally worked, when sensor does not send an error message and after finishing error diagnosis.
    5. If any failure is received from the any sensors, R-PAS Starting Buzzer" does not work but the failure alarm is operated for a moment.

      If you have display option, warning sign is also shown on it.

    6. Buzzer for sensor failure is operated once, but display is shown continuously until it is repaired completely.
  2. NORMAL Mode
    1. LIN communication starts and keeps the routine after IGN1 ON+R gear
    2. BCM send a message once to each sensor for operating request to check the initial status of the system and four sensors response at a time.

      At this time, if there is no problem, the alarm starts after 500ms of R gear shifting at 300ms intervals.

    3. After initialization, normal mode starts 100ms later after finishing alarm output.
    4. Alarm for obstacles is divided into 3 levels.

      The first and second are intermittent sound, and the third alarms continuously (Front sensor have second and third alarms.)

    5. The efficient vehicle speed of RPAS operation is under 10Km/h.
    6. Refer to 'Digital PAS Project LIN communication' for the more detailed communication specification. Refer to applicable service information.


When the system has the power (after IGN ON and R gear), MICOM checks every sensor channel. In case it is not find any error, it sounds 300ms buzzer 500ms afterward. But it finds any error even a sensor, it sounds buzzer corresponding fault sensor instead of initial starting alarm. Function for normal mode entrance is as below
