CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC LASER CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: P1570: Radar Sensor Malfunction

DTC P1570 - Radar Sensor Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The laser sensor emits laser beams towards an object in front and measures the distance and direction of the object by receiving the beam reflections. Based on the reflections, the sensor calculates the difference in speed between your own vehicle and an object in front. This data is transmitted to the distance control ECU (cruise control ECU).





HINT: The laser sensor monitors the laser emission and reception by itself. This DTC is detected when it cannot monitor.
When rain drops or snowflakes strike the laser sensor face, the distance between the vehicle in front and your own vehicle cannot be measured correctly.
The dynamic laser cruise control system functions by detecting the reflector of the vehicle directly in front. In the following cases, the system may not be able to detect the vehicle in front and may not properly maintain the correct vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
- The vehicle in front is a tall trailer.
- The back of the vehicle in front is extremely dirty.
- Emission from the vehicle in front or from other lanes are heavy.
- The vehicle in front has no reflector.
- The laser sensor is receiving a strong flash of light (sunlight, etc.).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. ADJUST LASER SENSOR
(a) Adjust the laser sensor Adjustments.
HINT: It is necessary to make the hybrid vehicle control ECU recognize spec information (whether the vehicle is equipped with the dynamic laser or not). When this procedure has not been carried out, this DTC may be output.
(b) Clear the DTC and then recheck for DTCs Dynamic Laser Cruise Control System.
OK:
DTC is not output.
HINT: If DTC P1570 is still output after performing the above procedures, replace the laser sensor.

NG -- REPLACE LASER SENSOR
OK -- SYSTEM IS OK
