      NOTE:
      • Perform this inspection on level ground.
      • Make sure that there are no metal objects around the vehicle or on the ground.
      • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
      • Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.
      • Do not place an object other than the reflector (such as a large metallic object) in or allow people to enter the inspection area (W 9 m (29.53 ft) x L 10 m (32.81 ft) x H 4 m (13.13 ft) shown in the illustration.
      • Check that DTC C1ABB and DTC C1ABC are not output.
    2. Place the reflector.
      1. Hang a string (with weight) from the center of the vehicle's rear emblem. Mark the vehicle's rear center point on the ground. Repeat for the front of the vehicle. (mark (A) and (B)
      2. Draw a vehicle center line so that it passes through mark (A) and (B) (front and rear center points).

      7. Set the reflector at the position (Z) shown in the illustration below.
        • SST: 09870-60000 
          • 09870-60010
        • SST: 09870-60040

        NOTE:
        • Set the reflector so that its center is 470 mm (1.54 ft) above the ground.

        • Set the reflector as shown in the illustration so that its center of triangular pyramid faces the blind spot monitor sensor.
        • Perform the operation as precisely as possible.
    3. Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis display.
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the blind spot monitor main switch (outer mirror switch assembly) on.
      4. Turn the Techstream on.
      5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind spot monitor Master or Blind spot monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master beam axis display or BSM Slave beam axis display.
      6. Check the results displayed for the BSM beam axis display.

        Allowable Range

        Item Blind Spot Monitor Sensor LH (Master) Blind Spot Monitor Sensor RH (Slave)
        Angle -3.6 to +3.6° -3.6 to +3.6°
        Distance 2.0 to 3.0 m
        (6.57 to 9.85 ft.)
        2.0 to 3.0 m
        (6.57 to 9.85 ft.)

        HINT: 

        If the results are outside the allowable range, try again as the reflector setting position may be incorrect or a metal object may exist near the detection area.

      7. Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis adjustment using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind spot monitor Master or Blind spot monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master beam axis adjustment or BSM Slave beam axis adjustment.

        HINT: 

        When values on the axis display are in the allowable range, performing this adjustment compensates the values to the normal value.

  3. BLIND SPOT MONITOR INSTALLATION CONDITION INSPECTION 
    NOTE:
    • Perform this inspection on level ground.
    • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
    • Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.
    1. Remove the rear bumper (Refer to REMOVAL [09/2015 - 09/2016] ).
    2. Attach a jig similar to the one shown in the illustration to the outward facing surface of the blind spot monitor sensor and check that the blind spot monitor sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface or within the allowable range.
