    *1 Power switch
    *2 LEXUS parking assist-sensor system
    *3 Buzzer sound

    1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    2. Turn the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system off, or check that the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system is off.

    3. Turn the power switch off.

    4. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    5. Turn the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system on, and check that the following occurs:

      1) After approximately 0.1 seconds, the buzzer sounds for approximately 1 second.

      2) The system starts detection operation mode.

      Tech Tips


      • During the initial check, malfunction detection operates and obstacle detection does not operate.

      • In the detection operation mode, obstacle detection and malfunction detection operate.

      • If a sensor has an open circuit or a sensor malfunctions because it is wet or frozen, a malfunction display is shown on the multi-information display and multi-display assembly, and the buzzer sounds.

      • If the power switch is turned on (IG) while the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system is on, the buzzer does not sound even though the malfunction detection operates.

  2. MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY)


    1. Open circuit indication


      1. If there is an open circuit between an ultrasonic sensor and the parking assist ECU or a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.

        A01NKNSE01

        Tech Tips


        • The example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor).

        • If a sensor has an open circuit, check for DTCs and troubleshoot according to each inspection procedure Click here.

    2. Frozen indication


      1. If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.

        A01NK4AE01

        Tech Tips


        • The example shows that the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.

        • If "CLEAN SONAR" is displayed, refer to "Frozen indication is displayed in self-check function" on Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it Click here.

  3. MALFUNCTION DISPLAY (MULTI-DISPLAY)


    1. Ultrasonic sensor open circuit


      1. If there is an open circuit between the ultrasonic sensor and the parking assist ECU or a sensor is malfunctioning, the malfunction is displayed as shown in the illustration.

        *A: When an image transmitted by the rear television camera assembly or side television camera assembly is not displayed.

        *B: When an image transmitted by the rear television camera assembly or side television camera assembly is displayed.

        Tech Tips


        • This example shows an open circuit in the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor).

        • If a sensor has an open circuit, refer to "Open circuit is displayed during self-check function" on Problem Symptoms Table to inspect it.

    2. Ultrasonic sensor frozen


      1. If a sensor is covered with foreign matter, such as mud or snow, the affected sensor is displayed as shown in the illustration.

        *A: When an image transmitted by the rear television camera assembly or side television camera assembly is not displayed.

        *B: When an image transmitted by the rear television camera assembly or side television camera assembly is displayed.

        Tech Tips


        • The example shows that the ultrasonic sensor (front left sensor) is covered with foreign matter.

        • If "Clean the parking assist sonar" is displayed, cleaning the foreign matter from the sensor will return the sensor to normal.

  4. DETECTION RANGE MEASUREMENT AND DISPLAY INSPECTION


    1. Detection range measurement:

      Note

      Make sure that the vehicle does not move by applying the parking brake firmly.


      1. Turn the power switch on (IG).

      2. Move the shift lever to R to check the ultrasonic sensors.

    2. Turn the LEXUS parking assist-sensor system on.

    3. Move a 60 mm (2.4 in.) diameter pole near each sensor to measure its detection range.

      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.


      1. Corner Sonar

        Note

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

      2. Front Center Sonar

        A01NLT6E01

      3. Rear Center Sonar

        A01NKULE01

    4. When the ultrasonic sensors (front corner sonar) have detected an obstacle, check the displays and check that the buzzer sounds.
