    3. Measure the resistance according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance 

      RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A20-22 (LRDD) - A36-3 (LRDD) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-13 (IGB) - A36-5 (IGB) Always Below 1 Ω
      A20-22 (LRDD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      A20-13 (IGB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  2. CHECK DISTANCE CONTROL ECU 
    1. Reconnect the distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) connector. Not reconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor connector.

    3. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A20-13 (IGB) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 10 to 16 V
      A20-22 (LRDD) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.5 V

    NG: REPLACE DISTANCE CONTROL ECU 

    OK: Go to Next Step 

  3. CHECK LASER RADAR SENSOR 
    1. Reconnect the laser sensor connector.

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value (s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      VOLTAGE SPECIFICATION

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A36-5 (IGB) - Body ground Ignition switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V
    4. Check the signal waveform between terminal LRDD (A36-3) of the laser sensor and body ground.

      OK: 

      A waveform similar to that in the illustration on the left is output. 

      HINT:

      • Gauge set: 2 V/DIV, 10 msec./DIV
      • Condition: Ignition switch on
