Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Radar Test: Introduction
- The BSM radar test examines the reflectivity from the SST
(reflector) by forcibly emitting radar to the SST
.
- One BSM control module is installed on the left and right sides. Perform the radar test for each of them.
- Perform the radar test on level ground. The correct test results cannot be obtained if the vehicle and reflector are set at different heights or different angles.
- A radar test cannot be performed correctly if obstructions which interfere with radar emitting adhere to the BSM control module or the rear bumper. Perform the following procedure before performing the radar test.
- Verify that there is no water or dirt adhering to the radar emitting surface of the BSM control module and the rear bumper.
- Verify that there is no problem with the radar emitting surface of the BSM control module and the rear bumper such as dirt, application of metallic stickers, or repairs using putty application.
- Perform the DTC inspection for the BSM using the M-MDS and verify that no DTCs are displayed.
