2. FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
Component |
Function |
---|---|
Blind Spot Monitor Sensor |
|
Outer Rear View Mirror Assembly
|
Turns on or blinks the indicator based on a signal from the blind spot monitor sensor. |
Blind Spot Monitor Main Switch Assembly (Warning Canceling Switch Assembly)
|
|
Rear Cross Traffic Alert Buzzer (Blind Spot Monitor Buzzer) |
Sounds based on a signal from the blind spot monitor sensor. |
Combination Meter Assembly
|
|
Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU) |
Sends the destination information and the dimmer signal to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) |
Transmits a vehicle speed signal to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
ECM |
Sends a shift position signal (R) to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication.*1 |
Back-up Light Switch Assembly |
Sends a shift position signal (R) to the blind spot monitor sensor.*2 |
Spiral Cable with Sensor Sub-assembly |
Detects the angle of the steering wheel and sends the resulting signals to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
3. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
(a) Operation description of the blind spot monitor function
(1) Operation conditions
(2) Conditions in which a sensor can detect a vehicle
The blind spot monitor function indicates detection of a vehicle in the detection area when either condition is met:
(3) Detection area
Vehicles in the following areas can be detected:
*a |
Vehicles in the following areas can be detected: |
*b |
Within approximately 3.5 m (11.49 ft.) from the side of the vehicle |
*c |
Within approximately 3 m (9.85 ft.) behind the rear bumper |
*d |
Within approximately 1 m (3.29 ft.) forward of the rear bumper |
(b) Operation description of the rear cross traffic alert function.
(1) Operation conditions:
(2) Conditions in which a sensor can detect a vehicle
The rear cross traffic alert function indicates detection of a vehicle in the detection area when both conditions are met:
(3) Detection area
Vehicles in the following areas can be detected:
*a |
Vehicles in the following areas can be detected: |
*b |
Within approximately 5.5 to 20 m (18.04 to 65.62 ft.) from the side of the vehicle (detection area changes according to vehicle speed) |
*c |
Within approximately 6 m (19.69 ft.) behind the rear bumper |
4. OPERATION OF OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR INDICATOR AND REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT BUZZER (BLIND SPOT MONITOR BUZZER)
(a) Initial check
(1) When the blind spot monitor main switch assembly (warning canceling switch assembly) is turned on with the ignition switch ON, the outer rear view mirror indicator on each outer rear view mirror assembly illuminates for 3 seconds and the rear cross traffic alert buzzer assembly (blind spot monitor buzzer) sounds for 1 second.
(2) When the ignition switch is turned from off to ON with the blind spot monitor main switch assembly (warning canceling switch assembly) on, the outer rear view mirror indicator on each outer rear view mirror assembly illuminates for 3 seconds.
(b) Operation for each function

*a |
0.125 seconds |
(2) Operation for rear cross traffic alert function
*a |
0.125 seconds |
*b |
2.5 seconds |
*c |
0.1 seconds |
*d |
0.4 seconds |
*e |
2.3 seconds |

CHECK MODE PROCEDURE
1. DESCRIPTION
Check mode has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions and can detect malfunctions
that cannot be detected in normal mode. Check mode can also detect all of the malfunctions
that can be detected in normal mode. In check mode, DTCs are stored with 1 trip
