BLIND SPOT MONITOR SYSTEM OPERATION CHECK

BLIND SPOT MONITOR BEAM AXIS CONFIRMATION

1. When performing the blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation, move the vehicle to a place where the space shown in the illustration can be secured.

   

   Note

   
   

   • Perform this inspection on level ground.

   • Make sure that there are no metal objects around the vehicle or on the ground.

   • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.

   • Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.

   • Do not place any objects other than the reflector (such as a large metallic object) in or allow people to enter the inspection area (W 6 m [19.68 ft.] x L 6 m [19.68 ft.] x H 4 m [13.12 ft.]) shown in the illustration.

2. Place the reflector.

   
   

   1. From the center of the rear bumper (center of the emblem), hang a weight with a pointed tip, and mark the rear center point of the vehicle on the ground (mark A).

      

      *a	String	*b	Weight
      *c	Center point	*d	Equal Distance to Center

      Tech Tips

      Lightly flick the string with your fingers several times to confirm that the string is aligned with mark A.

   2. From the center of the front bumper (center of the emblem), hang a weight with a pointed tip, and mark the front center point of the vehicle on the ground (mark B).

      

      *a	String	*b	Weight
      *c	Center point	*d	Equal Distance to Center

      Tech Tips

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

   3. 

      *1	Vehicle center line

      Draw a vehicle center line so that it passes through mark A and B (front and rear center points).

   4. Enlarge and print out the poster shown in the illustration.

      *3	80.7°
      *4	Edge of rear bumper

   5. 

      *1	Vehicle Rear
      *2	Vehicle center line
      *3	Poster

      Attach the printed poster to the floor with the vehicle center line aligned with point A as shown in the illustration.

   6. 

      *1	Vehicle front
      *2	Vehicle center line
      *3	String
      *4	Poster

      Align a piece of string with line C and mark point D at a distance of 3668 mm (12.03 ft.) from point A.

   7. Set the reflector at the point D shown in the illustration below.

      *1	Vehicle center line
      *2	3668 mm (12.03 ft.)
      *3	Rear bumper
      *4	Reflector

      Note

      
      

      • 

        *1	790 mm (2.59 ft.)

        Set the reflector so that its center is 790 mm (2.59 ft.) above the ground.

      • 

        *1	Center of triangular pyramid

        The center of the triangular pyramid is the reference point for the setting position and angle.

3. Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis display.

   
   

   1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

   2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

   3. Turn the blind spot monitor system on.

   4. Turn the GTS on.

   5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind Spot Monitor Master or Blind Spot Monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master Beam Axis Display or BSM Slave Beam Axis Display.

      
      Body Electrical > Blind Spot Monitor Master > Utility

      Tester Display
      BSM Master Beam Axis Display

      
      Body Electrical > Blind Spot Monitor Slave > Utility

      Tester Display
      BSM Slave Beam Axis Display

   6. Check the results displayed for the BSM beam axis display.

      Tech Tips

      If the results are outside the allowable range, it is possible that the reflector position is incorrect, there is a metallic object near the inspection area or the blind spot monitor sensor installation condition is abnormal, so check the reflector positioning, the inspection area and the blind spot monitor sensor installation condition, and perform the inspection again.

      Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis adjustment.

      
      

      1. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind Spot Monitor Master or Blind Spot Monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master Beam Axis Adjustment or BSM Slave Beam Axis Adjustment.

         Tech Tips

         When values on the axis display are in the allowable range, performing this adjustment compensates for any deviation from the normal value.
