DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:U0235

DTC Code DTC Name
U0235 Lost Communication with Cruise Control Front Distance Range Sensor

DESCRIPTION

The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and driving support ECU assembly transmit the data for general vehicle control and diagnosis function along the communication line. The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly transmits information about the vehicle in front to the driving support ECU assembly.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
U0235 The ECM detects a communication error signal (from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly to the driving support ECU assembly) for 1 second or more while the dynamic radar cruise control is operating

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor circuit

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

  • Driving support ECU assembly

      (to Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor Assembly)

      Disconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly connector.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      A2-5 (IGB) - Body ground Power switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

    4. Reconnect the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly connector.


    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY - IG1 RELAY)

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DRIVING SUPPORT ECU - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY)


    1. Disconnect the driving support ECU assembly and millimeter wave radar sensor assembly connectors.

    2. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H5-16 (LRDD) - A2-3 (LRDD) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      H5-16 (LRDD) or A2-3 (LRDD) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    3. Reconnect the driving support ECU assembly and millimeter wave radar sensor assembly connectors.


    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (DRIVING SUPPORT ECU - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY)

  6. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC U0235)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    4. Perform the following to make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

      Tech Tips

      If the detection conditions are not met, the malfunction cannot be detected.


      1. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) and 170 km/h (105 mph).

      2. Turn the cruise control switch (ON-OFF button) on.

      3. Push the -/SET switch to activate the cruise control.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Radar Cruise / DTC.

    6. Read the DTCs.
