  6. OPERATION EXPLANATION


    1. The reverse position signal is sent from the shift lever position switch to the parking assist ECU when the shift lever is moved to R.

    2. An appropriate steering angle and timing information can be provided for the driver. This is based on the information from the steering angle sensor signal and the vehicle angle data signal that are sent to the parking assist ECU.

      Tech Tips

      The steering angle sensor signal is used to control parking assist only for estimated guide line mode.

  7. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OUTLINE


    1. CAN communication system


      1. The multi-terrain monitor system uses CAN communication for data communication between the parking assist ECU and other ECUs and between the parking assist ECU and each camera.

      2. If a problem occurs in the CAN communication line, the parking assist ECU outputs a CAN communication malfunction DTC. (To check, use the GTS.) Click here

      3. If a problem occurs in the CAN communication line, the parking assist ECU outputs a CAN communication malfunction DTC. (To check, use the display diagnosis screen.)

        Click here

      4. If a CAN communication line malfunction DTC is output, repair the malfunction in the communication line and troubleshoot the multi-terrain monitor system when data communication is normal.

      5. Since the CAN communication line has its own length and route, it cannot be repaired temporarily with a bypass wire, etc.

    2. AVC-LAN communication system

      B001FX7E10
      B001FX7E08

      • *1: for Navigation Receiver Type

      • *2: for Radio and Display Type


      1. The multi-terrain monitor system uses the AVC-LAN to communicate with other equipment.

      2. The master device for the AVC-LAN is the navigation receiver assembly*1 or radio and display receiver assembly*2.

      3. Resistance necessary for communication transfer (60 to 80 Ω between the TX+ - TX- terminals) is inside the navigation receiver assembly*1 or radio and display receiver assembly*2.

      4. If a malfunction such as a communication line short, +B short, or GND short occurs in the AVC-LAN circuit, communication is interrupted and the multi-terrain monitor system and navigation system do not operate normally.

  8. VIDEO SIGNALS


    • *1: for Navigation Receiver Type

    • *2: for Radio and Display Type


    1. Video signal circuit

      B001GNLE01

      1. Video signals from the front television camera assembly are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).

      2. Video signals from the side television camera assembly LH are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).

      3. Video signals from the side television camera assembly RH are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).

      4. Video signals from the rear television camera assembly are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).

      5. Video signals from the parking assist ECU are input into the navigation receiver assembly*1 or radio and display receiver assembly*2 via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).

    2. Screen display


      1. Video signals input from each camera are processed in the parking assist ECU and displayed on the navigation receiver assembly*1 or radio and display receiver assembly*2 as the multi-terrain monitor system screen.

  9. DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION OUTLINE


    1. This multi-terrain monitor system has a diagnostic function displayed in the navigation receiver assembly*1 or radio and display receiver assembly*2. This function enables the calibration (adjustment and verification) of the multi-terrain monitor system.
