Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (DISTANCE CONTROL SWITCH)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Radar Cruise / Data List.
- Check the Data List for proper functioning of the distance control switch.RADAR CRUISE
Techstream Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Car Dist Time Setting Vehicle distance time setting condition/Short, Mid, Long, No shrt, Mid, Long, No Vehicle-to-vehicle distance selected by steering pad switch (distance control switch) - OK
When the distance control switch is operated, the display changes as shown above.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 7
- INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Component without harness connected
(Steering Pad Switch Assembly)*2 Distance Control Switch - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z2-4 - z2-6 Distance control switch on Below 2.5 Ω z2-4 - z2-6 Distance control switch off 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
NG → See step 8
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY NOTE: The spiral cable sub-assembly is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable sub-assembly may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the reference shown in the brackets.
HINT:
- Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
- Refer to INSTALLATION [08/2012 - ]
- Remove the spiral cable sub-assembly. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z2-4 - J24-11 (DIST) The spiral cable sub-assembly is centered Below 1 Ω The spiral cable sub-assembly is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable sub-assembly is 2.5 rotations to the right z2-6 - J24-2 (ECC) The spiral cable sub-assembly is centered Below 1 Ω The spiral cable sub-assembly is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable sub-assembly is 2.5 rotations to the right TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Spiral Cable Sub-assembly)HINT:
The spiral cable sub-assembly makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.
- Reinstall the spiral cable sub-assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION [08/2012 - ] .
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU)
- Disconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J17-16 (MODE) - J24-11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J17-16 (MODE) or J24-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Spiral Cable Sub-assembly)*2 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Distance Control ECU) - Reconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Reconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU)
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition J24-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Spiral Cable Sub-assembly) - Reconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - BODY GROUND)
OK → See step 9
- Disconnect the spiral cable sub-assembly connector.
- REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [08/2012 - ]
- REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
- REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2012 - ]
