  3. DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION

    Note

    The following measurement and inspection will be performed with the shift lever in a position other than P. Be sure to apply the parking lever and depress the brake pedal firmly to prevent the vehicle from moving.


    1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    2. Turn the back sonar or clearance sonar switch assembly on.

    3. Detection range measurement:


      1. Move the shift lever according to the table below.

        Measurement Area Shift Lever Position
        Front Corner In any position other than P
        Front Center In any position other than P or R
        Rear Corner R
        Rear Center

      2. Move a 60 mm (2.4 in.) diameter pole near each sensor to measure its detection range. When measuring the longest-range detection of the front center sonar and the rear center sonar, use a wall or equivalent.

        Note

        These detection ranges are applicable when positioning the 60 mm (2.4 in.) diameter pole parallel or perpendicular to the ground. The detection range varies depending on the measuring method and type of obstacle (such as walls).

        Tech Tips

        Have an assistant move the pole.

        Note

        The No. 1 ultrasonic sensor side view detection range (hatched area labeled (B)) represents the cross section of the top view detection range (A). The hatched area (B) does not represent the entire side view detection range.

    4. Front corner sonar display and buzzer operation check


      1. When the No. 1 ultrasonic sensors (front corner sonar) have detected an obstacle, check the displays and check that the buzzer sounds.

        Tech Tips

        Ultrasonic waves are used to measure the detection range; however, the detection range may vary depending on the ambient temperature.

      2. Front center sonar display and buzzer operation check


        1. When the No. 2 ultrasonic sensors (front center sonar) have detected an obstacle, check the display and check that the buzzer sounds.
