Camera Adjustment, Inspection: Procedure: Preparations

Perform the preparation of the adjustment and inspection for the stereo camera.

• WHEN PERFORMING ADJUSTMENT OR INSPECTION BY USING A PARTITION 
  1. Before preparation, check the following items.
     1. The headlight is off.
     2. The workplace is flat and level.
     3. The inflation pressure of tires is correct.
     4. The vehicle does not have load. (Except for the standard equipment tools and spare tire)
     5. The front wheels are directed to the straight ahead position, when the steering wheel is set to the center position.
        NOTE: When the front wheels are not directed to the straight ahead position, adjust the alignment. Ref. to FRONT SUSPENSION>WHEEL ALIGNMENT>ADJUSTMENT .
  2. Park the vehicle while securing approximately 5 m (16.41 ft) space in front of the vehicle.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to OFF. (Engine OFF)
  4. Using the plumb bob with leveling line, affix the packing tape, etc. where the plumb bob touches the ground from the center position of vehicle and make a marking on the tape.
     CAUTION:

     • Centering accuracy of the plumb bob shall be ±4 mm (±0.16 in) or less.

     • Positioning accuracy of the measure shall be ±2 mm (±0.08 in) or less.
     1. Mark the front center position of vehicle (the center clip on lower side of the front bumper). (Point A)

     2. Mark the rear center position of vehicle (center of the rear ornament). (Point B)

  5. Strain approximately 5 m (16.41 ft) leveling line from the marking point B through the marking point A toward front of the vehicle, and fix it with packing tape. (A-B line)
     NOTE: Confirm that there is no wet condition or unevenness on the floor, to strain the leveling line correctly.

  6. Mark the installation position of the partition.
     1. Using the plumb bob with leveling line, affix the packing tape, etc. where the plumb bob touches the ground from the center of each front wheel and make a marking on the tape at the point C and point D.
        CAUTION: Centering accuracy of the front wheel shall be ±4 mm (±0.16 in) or less.

     2. Strain approximately 5 m (16.41 ft) leveling line from the point C and point D toward the front of vehicle parallel to the vehicle body center line (A-B line), and fix the leveling line with packing tape.
     3. Affix the packing tape, etc. and make a marking on the tape at the points 4, 000 mm (13 ft, 1 1/2 in) ahead of the vehicle from the point C and point D. (Point E and point F)
     4. Strain the leveling line so that it passes through the point E and point F. (E-F line)

  7. Install ST.
     CAUTION:

     • Affix the ST onto the vertical partition with flat surface.
     • When using a white board as a partition, affix ST on the flat surface without protrusion such as penholder. When suspending the plumb bob, suspend it vertically while avoiding protrusion.

     • Do not affix ST with lustrous tapes which may reflect the light, and place the tape within 10 mm (0.39 in) from the edge of ST. Handle ST carefully so as not to break it with the adhesive force of the tape.
     • Perform the adjustment work at lighted places. If the lighting is not enough, adjustment cannot be done, and accuracy rate may not be acquired.
     • The adjustment in the outdoors cannot be recommended. Note the sun position, when adjusting it in outdoor. Do not perform adjustment when the sunlight comes from front or rear of the vehicle.
     • Apply the lighting from the upper side, and make adjustment so that brightness is even in ST. If the lighting is applied from the position where light reflects at ST, the adjustment cannot be done, because the reflected light enters the camera.

     Preparation tool: 

     ST: RANDOM CHART (87599VA000)

     1. Using the plumb bob with leveling line, align the setting reference (vertical line) center of ST with the intersection point of the vehicle body center line (leveling line) and the E-F line.
        CAUTION:

        • Centering accuracy of the plumb bob shall be ±4 mm (±0.16 in) or less.

        • Positioning accuracy of the measure shall be ±2 mm (±0.08 in) or less.
     2. Attach it on the partition so that the height of the setting reference (horizontal line) center from the floor is 1, 000 mm (3 ft, 3 3/8 in).
     3. Adjust the partition so that it is parallel to E-F line.

  8. Check the windshield glass and the dashboard. Ref. to EYESIGHT (DIAGNOSTICS)>GENERAL DESCRIPTION>INSPECTION>WINDSHIELD GLASS AND DASHBOARD .
     CAUTION: If there are any dirt, object or reflection from dashboard within the visibility of stereo camera, the correct adjustment and inspection cannot be performed. Especially, do not put paper etc. on the dashboard.
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for approx. 10 seconds.
  10. Perform the following items.
      • Readjustment of the stereo camera: Perform the camera all adjustment mode (replacement/removal). Ref. to EYESIGHT>CAMERA ADJUSTMENT, INSPECTION>PROCEDURE>CAMERA ALL ADJUSTMENT MODE (REPLACEMENT/REMOVAL) .
