Cruise Control System (Dynamic Laser) - Diagnostics: Pre-Check

LASER BEAM AXIS ADJUSTMENT
Use the hand-held tester to adjust the optical axis (see ADJUSTMENT for the optical axis adjusting operation).

HINT:

While adjusting the optical axis of the laser radar sensor, the CRUISE main indicator light illuminates and FC is displayed on the multi-information display.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
1. The diagnosis function makes the master warning light and the multi-information display come on, and the CRUISE main indicator light blinks as shown in the illustration. When a malfunction occurs in the dynamic laser cruise control system, the DTCs are stored in the ECM.

NOTE:
- The master warning light goes off if the system returns to normal condition.
- Since the stored data in the ECM is erased by disconnecting the EFI No. 1 fuse or the battery terminal, do not disconnect them until finishing the inspection.

DIAGNOSING SYSTEM

Description
The ECM controls the cruise control function and dynamic laser cruise control in a vehicle. Data on the cruise control system, dynamic laser cruise control system and the DTCs can be read from DLC3 in the vehicle. If the CRUISE main indicator light does not come on after the DTC check, there is a malfunction in the cruise control and dynamic laser cruise control system.

Use the hand-held tester or SST check wire to check and solve the problem.

SST 09843-18040

Check the DLC3.

The vehicle's ECM uses ISO 9141-2 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 9141-2 format.

TERMINAL NUMBER AND SPECIFIED CONDITION

Terminal No. (Symbols)	Connection/Specified Condition	Condition
4 (CG)	Chassis Ground - Body Ground/1 Ω or less	Always
7 (SIL)	Bus (+) Pulse Generation	During Communication
16 (BAT)	Battery Positive - Body Ground/9 to 14 V	Always

HINT:

If the display shows "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE" when the hand-held tester is connected to the DLC3 and the ignition switch is ON, there is a problem on either the vehicle side or the tool side.

If communication is normal when the tool is connected to another vehicle, check the DLC3 in the original vehicle.
If communication is still not possible when the tool is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the tool itself. Consult with the Service Department listed in the Tool's Instruction Manual.

Check the indicator.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Check that the master warning light and READY indicator light come on.
3. Check that the master warning light and READY indicator light go off after approx. 3 seconds.

HINT:

If the indicator check result shows problem, proceed to troubleshooting (See COMBINATION METER ) for the combination meter section.

DTC CHECK (USING SST CHECK WIRE)
HINT:

If a malfunction occurs in the vehicle speed sensors or the stop lamp switch, etc. during cruise control driving, the ECU actuates AUTO CANCEL of the cruise control and blinks the CRUISE main indicator light. This indicator light informs the driver of a malfunction. At the same time, the malfunction is stored as a diagnostic trouble code.

1. Checking for DTCs.
  1. Using SST check wire, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
    SST 09843-18040
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  3. Read the DTCs on the CRUISE main indicator light.

  HINT:
  
  If the DTCs are not indicated, inspect the CRUISE MAIN INDICATOR LIGHT CIRCUIT and the DIAGNOSIS CIRCUIT .
  
  For example, the blinking patterns of normal code and code 52 are shown in the illustration.
2. Clearing the DTCs.
  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  2. Disconnect the battery terminals or EFI No. 1 fuse for 1 minute or more.
  3. Connect the battery terminal or EFI No. 1 fuse, and then turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  4. Check that the normal code is indicated after connecting the fuse.

DTC CHECK (USING HAND-HELD TESTER)
1. Checking for DTCs.
  1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
  3. Read the DTCs by following the prompts on the tester screen.
  HINT:
  
  The hand-held tester has the "Snapshot" function which records the monitored data.
  
  Refer to the Hand-Held Tester Operator's Manual for further details.
2. Clearing the DTCs.
  1. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

AUTO CANCEL FUNCTION (FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION)
HINT:

If a system malfunction occurs, the applicable DTCs will appear on the multi-information display.
1. The CRUISE main indicator light keeps blinking until the main switch is turned off, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop", and the display shows "E3". The cruise control operation is suspended until turning the main switch ON again. The auto cancel function deletes the stored vehicle speed and cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions.
  1. When the vehicle speed signal malfunctions.
  2. When the electronic throttle parts malfunction.
  3. When the stop lamp switch has an open or short circuit.
  4. When the laser radar sensor malfunctions. (⁽⁾)
  5. When the light axis of the laser radar sensor is off position. (⁽⁾)
    
    ⁽⁾ Only in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.

2. The CRUISE main indicator light blinks, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop", and the display shows "E2". The cruise control operation is suspended until the canceling condition is resolved (in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only). The auto cancel function cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions.
  1. When the wipers (Hi, Lo) operate (including the auto wiper).
  2. When the pattern select switch is in the "SNOW" mode.
  3. When the laser radar sensor receives strong light, such as sunlight, from the front side.
  4. When the vehicle-to-vehicle distance measurement is extremely unstable because of bad weather.

3. The auto cancel function cancels the cruise control operation in the following conditions. At this time, the CRUISE main indicator light blinks, the master warning light comes on with the warning sound "Pop" and the display shows "E1". The cruise control operation is suspended until the canceling condition is resolved (in the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode only).
  1. When the laser radar sensor has dirt on it.
HINT:

While the dynamic laser cruise control is operated, the ECM outputs a malfunction code for 0.15 sec. or more when it detects dirt.
