Operation Check

  1. SELF-CHECK FUNCTION INSPECTION 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    2. When the intuitive parking assist system is turned on, check that the following occurs: 1) after 0.1 milliseconds, the buzzer sounds for approximately 0.8 seconds, and 2) the system starts the obstacle detection operation.

      HINT:

      • If a sensor has an open circuit or a sensor's detection operation malfunctions because it is wet or frozen, a malfunction display is shown on the multi-information display or multi-display, and the buzzer sounds.
      • When the sensor condition returns to normal, the system ends normal clearance sonar mode.
      • If the clearance sonar main switch is on and the engine switch is turned on (IG), the buzzer does not sound.

  2. MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY) 
    1. Ultrasonic sensor open circuit
      1. If there is an open circuit between the ultrasonic sensor and the clearance warning ECU or if a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.
        Fig 2: Multi-Information Display

        HINT:

        • The example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor).
        • If a sensor has an open circuit, refer to "Open circuit is displayed as a result of self-check" in the Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it.
    2. Ultrasonic sensor frozen
      1. If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.
        Fig 3: Clean Sonar Display
        G05253385Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002

        HINT:

        • The example shows that the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.
        • If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, cleaning the foreign matter from the sensor will return the sensor to normal.
  3. MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-DISPLAY) 
    1. Ultrasonic sensor open circuit
      1. If there is an open circuit between the ultrasonic sensor and the clearance warning ECU or if a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.

        HINT:

        • This example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (rear right sensor).
        • If a sensor has an open circuit, refer to "Open circuit is displayed as a result of self-check" in the Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it.
    2. Ultrasonic sensor frozen
      1. If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.
        Fig 5: Multi-Information Display - Ultrasonic Sensor Frozen

        HINT:

        • The example shows that the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.
        • If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, cleaning the foreign matter from the sensor will return the sensor to normal.
  4. DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION 
    1. Detection range measurement
      NOTE: Make sure the vehicle does not move by applying the parking brake firmly.
      1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      2. Move the shift lever to the reverse position to check the ultrasonic sensors (rear sensors).
    2. Turn the clearance sonar main switch on.;
    3. Move a ø 60 mm (2.36 in.) pole near each sensor to measure its detection range.
      1. Measure the clearance sonar's detection range.
        Fig 6: Measuring Clearance Sonar Detection Range
        G05253388Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        NOTE: These detection ranges are applicable when positioning the ø 60 mm (2.36 in.) pole parallel or perpendicular to the ground. The ranges vary depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).
      2. Measure the back sonar's detection range.
        Fig 7: Measuring Back Sonar Detection Range
        G05253389Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        NOTE:
        • These detection ranges are applicable when positioning the < J > 60 mm (2.36 in.) pole parallel or perpendicular to the ground. The ranges vary depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).
        • *1: A pole with a diameter of approximately 60 mm (2.36 in.) can be detected within this detection area. If there is a cylinder-shaped object with a diameter of approximately 400 mm (15.74 in.), the detection area expands to approximately 1,500 mm (59.05 in.).
    4. When the ultrasonic sensors (front clearance sonar) have detected an obstacle, check the display and buzzer sound.
