Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (DISTANCE CONTROL ECU - LASER RADAR SENSOR) 
    1. Disconnect the distance control ECU and millimeter wave radar sensor connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A20-22 (LRDD) - A36-3 (LRDD) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-13 (IGB) - A36-5 (IGB) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-22 (LRDD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A20-13 (IGB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK DISTANCE CONTROL ECU 
    1. Reconnect the distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) connector. Not reconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A20-13 (IGB) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 10 to 16 V
      A20-22 (LRDD) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.5 V

    NG: REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK LASER RADAR SENSOR 
    1. Reconnect the laser sensor connector.
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A36-5 (IGB) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

      OK: 

      A waveform similar to that in  Fig 4  is output. 

      HINT:

      • Gauge set: 2 V/DIV, 10 msec./DIV
      • Condition: Ignition switch on

    NG: REPLACE LASER RADAR SENSOR 

    OK: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
