Distance Control Switch Circuit: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Lexus GX 460. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INSPECT STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY (DISTANCE CONTROL SWITCH) 
    1. Remove the steering pad switch assembly. Refer to REMOVAL - Step 6 .

      *1 Distance Control Switch - -
    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      4 (DIST) - 6 (ECC) Distance control switch on Below 2.5 Ω
      4 (DIST) - 6 (ECC) Distance control switch off 1 MΩ or higher

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly. Refer to INSTALLATION - Step 4 .

    2. If there are any defects as follows, replace the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly with a new one: scratches, cracks, dents or chips in the connector or spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
    3. Check the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly.
      1. Set the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly to the center position. Refer to REMOVAL .
      2. Rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Then rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
        NOTE:

        As the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly may break, do not rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly more than the specified amount.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        4 (DIST) - 11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω
        6 (ECC) - 2 (ECC) Always Below 1 Ω
      3. Set the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly to the center position and rotate the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 2.5 times clockwise. Then, while rotating the spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly 5 times counterclockwise, measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard Resistance

        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        4 (DIST) - 11 (DIST) Always Below 1 Ω
        6 (ECC) - 2 (ECC) Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → See step   5 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY - DRIVING SUPPORT ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the G28 spiral with sensor cable sub-assembly connector.
    2. Disconnect the G43 driving support ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      G28-11 (DIST) - G43-6 (SPSW) Always Below 1 Ω
      G28-2 (ECC) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      G28-11 (DIST) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   4 

  4. PROCEED TO NEXT SUSPECTED AREA SHOWN IN PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE. Refer to  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 
  5. REPLACE SPIRAL WITH SENSOR CABLE SUB-ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  6. REPLACE STEERING PAD SWITCH ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL - Step 6
