Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (DISTANCE CONTROL SWITCH)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Radar Cruise/Data List.
- Check the Data List to confirm proper function of the distance control switch.RADAR CRUISE
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Car Dist Time Setting Vehicle distance time setting condition/Shrt, Mid, Long, No Vehicle-to-vehicle distance selected by steering pad switch (distance control switch) - OK
When the distance control switch is operated, the display changes in accordance with switch operation.
NG → See step 2
OK → See step 8
- INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY
- Remove the steering pad switch assembly. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition d1-4 - d1-6 Distance control switch ON Below 2.5 Ω d1-4 - d1-6 Distance control switch OFF 10 kΩ or higher TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Steering Pad Switch Assembly*2 Distance Control Switch - Reinstall the steering pad switch assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION .
NG → See step 6
OK: Go to next step
- INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE NOTE: The spiral cable is an important part of the SRS airbag system. Incorrect removal or installation of the spiral cable may cause airbag deployment. Be sure to read the reference shown in the brackets.
- Remove the spiral cable. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition d1-4 - E30-11 (DIST) The spiral cable is centered Below 1 Ω The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the right d1-6 - E30-2 (ECC) The spiral cable is centered Below 1 Ω The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the left The spiral cable position is 2.5 rotations to the right TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Component without harness connected
(Spiral Cable)HINT:
The spiral cable makes a maximum of approximately 5 rotations.
- Reinstall the spiral cable. Refer to INSTALLATION .
NG → See step 9
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU)
- Disconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Disconnect the spiral cable connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A8-16 (MODE) - E30-11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω A8-16 (MODE) or E30-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher - Reconnect the distance control ECU connector.
- Reconnect the spiral cable connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - DISTANCE CONTROL ECU)
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the spiral cable connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition E30-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*1 Front view of wire harness connector
(to Spiral with Sensor Cable Sub-assembly) - Reconnect the spiral cable connector.
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (SPIRAL CABLE - BODY GROUND)
OK → See step 7
- REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL
- REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU. Refer to REMOVAL
- PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
- REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE. Refer to REMOVAL
