Diagnosis System

PRE-COLLISION: PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

1. DESCRIPTION

(a) Pre-collision system data can be read through the vehicle's Data Link Connector 3 (DLC3). When the system seems to be malfunctioning, use the Techstream to check for malfunctions and perform repairs.

2. CHECK DLC3

(a) The seat belt control ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.









NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the power switch, any other switches or the doors.

If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.

HINT
Connect the cable of the Techstream to the DLC3, turn the power switch ON (IG) and attempt to use the Techstream. If the screen displays the message UNABLE TO CONNECT TO VEHICLE, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the Techstream.

* If communication is normal when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
* If communication is still not possible when the Techstream is connected to another vehicle, the problem is probably in the Techstream itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the Techstream instruction manual.

3. FUNCTION OF WARNING INDICATOR AND MESSAGE

(a) If the pre-collision system is not functioning properly, the driver is warned through the combination meter master warning indicator, PCS warning indicator and multi-information display warning message.





(b) Initial check

(1) The initial check occurs when the power switch is OFF for more than 2 seconds and then turned ON (IG). The initial check consists of a pre-collision system diagnostic check with a duration of approximately 3 seconds.

(2) If a malfunction is detected during the initial check, the multi-information display will output "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" or "PCS NOT AVAILABLE NOW".

(c) Constant check

(1) The seat belt control ECU and distance control ECU constantly monitor the pre-collision system for malfunctions after the initial check (approximately 3 seconds after turning the power switch ON (IG)).

(2) "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" or "PCS NOT AVAILABLE NOW" is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter when the constant check detects malfunctions in the pre-collision system.
