DESCRIPTION
The distance control switch sets the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode. The distance control switch is installed in the steering pad switch. The vehicle-to-vehicle distance set value can be changed by operating the steering pad switch (distance control switch) while the dynamic radar cruise control system is in operation. The steering pad switch uses the CAN communication line to communicate with each ECU.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
The vehicle is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) which includes components such as airbags. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts), be sure to read the Precaution for the SRS (Click here).
When the distance control ECU is replaced with a new one, initialization must be performed (Click here).
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (VEHICLE DISTANCE)
Using the intelligent tester, read the Data List (Click here).

INSPECT SPIRAL CABLE
Check the spiral cable and connector for scratches, cracks, dents and chips. If any defects are found, replace the spiral cable with a new one.
Check the spiral cable.
Set the spiral cable to the center position (Click here).
After setting the spiral cable to the center position, rotate the spiral cable 2.5 times clockwise, and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below. Then rotate the spiral cable 5 times counterclockwise, and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
