Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (VEHICLE DISTANCE)
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List.RADAR CRUISE
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Car Dist Time Setting Vehicle distance time setting condition /
SHORT, LONG, MID or NOVehicle distance selected by steering pad switch (distance control switch) - OK
Normal conditions listed above are displayed.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 7
- Using the Techstream, read the Data List.
- CHECK NO. 1 SWITCH WIRE
- Disconnect the z53 and z51 No. 1 switch wire connectors.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z53-4 (DIST) - z51-2 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω z53-6 (ECC) - z51-10 (ECC) Always Below 1 Ω
NG → REPLACE NO. 1 SWITCH WIRE
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the z53 and z51 No. 1 switch wire connectors.
- INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH
- Disconnect the steering pad switch connector from the spiral cable.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition 2 (DIST) - 10 (ECC) Distance control switch on (pushed) Below 1 Ω Distance control switch off (pushed again) 1 MΩ or higher
NG → See step 8
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the steering pad switch connector from the spiral cable.
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE
- Check the spiral cable and connector for scratches, cracks, dents and chips. If any defects are found, replace the spiral cable with a new one.
- Check the spiral cable.
- Set the spiral cable to the center position. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2012 - ] .
- After setting the spiral cable to the center position, rotate the spiral cable 2.5 times clockwise, and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Then rotate the spiral cable 5 times counterclockwise, and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z53-4 (DIST) - E109-12 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω z53-6 (ECC) - E109-2 (ECC) - After setting the spiral cable to the center position, rotate the spiral cable 2.5 times clockwise. Then while rotating the spiral cable 5 times counterclockwise, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.NOTE:
As the spiral cable may break, do not rotate the spiral cable more than the specified amount.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition z53-4 (DIST) - E109-12 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω z53-6 (ECC) - E109-2 (ECC)
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU AND BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the E86 distance control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the E109 spiral cable connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E109-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω E109-12 (DIST) - E86-16 (MODE) Always Below 1 Ω E109-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK → See step 6
- Disconnect the E86 distance control ECU connector.
- REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2012 - ]
- PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [01/2012 - ]
- REPLACE STEERING PAD ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2012 - ]
- REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE. Refer to REMOVAL [01/2012 - ]
