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

(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:
Text in Illustration
*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) |

(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
(1) Operation for blind spot monitor 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 |

Steering Angle Sensor Zero Point Malfunction (C1290)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid) acquires steering angle sensor
zero point every time the ignition switch is turned to ON and the vehicle is driven
at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 seconds. The ECU also stores the
previous zero point.
If the front wh ...
ABS Control System Malfunction (43)
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when the VSC system detects a malfunction in the ABS system.
When DTC 43 is stored, there is no malfunction in the skid control ECU (master cylinder
solenoid).
