HOOD ADJUSTMENT

A01DTMHE01

Tech Tips


  • Use the same procedure for RHD and LHD vehicles.

  • The procedure listed below is for LHD vehicles.

  • Centering bolts are used to mount the hood hinge and hood lock. The hood and hood lock cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts installed. Substitute the centering bolts with standard bolts when making adjustments.

  • The specified torque for standard bolts is shown in the standard bolt chart Click here.

    *a Approximately. 10 m (32.8 ft.)
    *b Approximately. 14 m (45.9 ft.)

    CAUTION:

    Exposure to radio frequency emissions is hazardous to your health. It is hazardous to be within 20 cm (7.87 in.) of the radio frequency aperture of the device.

    Note


    • This device complies with FCC radio frequency emission regulations.

    • Perform adjustment on a level surface.

    • Make sure that no large pieces of metal are within a 10 m (32.8 ft.) x 14 m (45.9 ft.) area in front of the vehicle. If possible, the surrounding area should also be free of large metal objects.


    1. Before adjusting the radar beam axis, prepare the vehicle as follows.


      1. Check the tire pressure and adjust it if necessary.

      2. Remove all excess weight from the vehicle (luggage, heavy objects, etc.).

        If the bubble is not within the red frame, use a screwdriver to adjust bolt A until the level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        Tech Tips


        • The adjustable range within the red frame of the level is +/-0.2°.

        • The target angle is +0.2° (upward angle of 0.2°).

      3. Using a piece of string that uses point A as a starting point and that passes through point B, make a straight line on the ground ahead of the vehicle 5 m (16.4 ft.) or more from point B.

        Tech Tips


        • Make sure to secure the string (using tape, etc.) when it is taut.

        • Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is aligned above point B.

      4. Mark point C at a location 5000 mm (16.4 ft.) from point B.

      5. Mark point D at a location 19.2 mm (0.756 in.) from point C.

      6. Place SST (reflector) at point D.

        Note

        Perform the operation as precisely as possible.

    5. Check the radar beam axis.

      Tech Tips

      If a screen indicating an error is displayed while performing this procedure, perform the procedure again from *1.


      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      3. Turn the intelligent tester main switch on, and turn the cruise control main switch on.

      4. Select "Auto" from the intelligent tester display screen.*1

      5. Select "Radar Cruise" from the display screen.

      6. Select "Utility" from the display screen.

      7. Select "Beam Axis Adjustment" from the display screen.

      8. Follow the tester display and select "Next".

        Note


        • Turn the cruise control main switch on before pressing Next.

        • Make sure there is at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radar sensor and any nearby individuals.

          CAUTION:

          Do not come within 20 cm (7.87 in.) of the radar sensor.

      9. Check the following items on the radar cruise divergence data screen.

        CAUTION:

        While using the beam axis adjustment mode of the intelligent tester, the actual direction and angle of the radar sensor may be different from the data on the intelligent tester. In such a case, the deviation is displayed on the multi-information display of the combination meter.


        1. Confirm that the distance is approximately 5 m (16.4 ft.).

          Tech Tips


          • A value between 0.0 and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.) is indicated.

          • If the distance is 0 m (0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the NOTICE at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

        2. Confirm that the left/right side value is between 0.0 and 6.3 m (20.7 ft.).

          Tech Tips

          If the distance is 0 m (0 ft.), the sensor cannot detect the target. Reconfirm that there is no metal in the specified area in front of the vehicle (refer to the NOTICE at the beginning of this adjustment procedure).

    6. Check and adjust the horizontal direction of the radar sensor.


      1. Check that the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

        Standard
        0° (Both right and left)

        If the axis is not as specified, use a screwdriver to adjust bolt B until the divergence of the radar beam axis is 0°.

      2. A01DS55E01

        *1 Screwdriver Insertion Hole
        *2 Bolt B

        Using a screwdriver, turn and adjust bolt B for horizontal adjustment of the millimeter wave radar sensor based on the measured divergence of the beam axis.

        Result
        Adjustment Direction Adjustment Procedure Adjustment Angle (Reference)
        Horizontal adjustment Right direction: Turn bolt B to positive (+) side For every rotation of screwdriver, sensor moves approximately 0.07 °
        Left direction: Turn bolt B to negative (-) side

        Tech Tips


        • If "LEFT SIDE: 1.0°" is displayed, the divergence is 1.0° in the left direction. Turn bolt B approximately 14.8 turns to the negative (-) side.

        • If the value does not change to 0°, it is possible that the sensor is aiming at something different. Reconfirm that there are no reflective materials in the surrounding area.

      3. Select "Next". The driving learning value is automatically reset.

        Tech Tips

        A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds or more.

      4. Disconnect the intelligent tester from the DLC3.

    7. Recheck and readjust the vertical direction of the radar sensor.

        *b FR

        Check that the level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        OK
        Level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        If the bubble is not within the red frame, use a screwdriver to adjust bolt A until the level's air bubble is within the red frame.

        Tech Tips


        • The adjustable range within the red frame is +/-0.2°.

        • The target angle is +0.2° (upward angle of 0.2°).

        Result
        Adjustment Direction Adjustment Procedure Adjustment Angle (Reference)
