  2. PERFORM BLIND SPOT MONITOR BEAM AXIS CONFIRMATION

    Tech Tips

    The blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation is performed to confirm whether the sensor's beam axis is correct, and perform adjustment of the beam axis by using reflector.


    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. Hang a weight with a pointed tip from the center of the rear emblem, and mark the rear center point of the vehicle (point A) on the ground.

          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. Turn the engine switch off (IG).

      2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

      4. Turn the blind spot monitor system on.

      5. Turn the GTS on.

      6. 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.

        Tech Tips

        The master beam is on the RH side and the slave beam is on the LH side.

        BSM Slave Beam Axis Display

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

        Allowable Range
        Item Blind Spot Monitor Sensor RH (Master) Blind Spot Monitor Sensor LH (Slave)
        Angle -3.6 to +3.6° -3.6 to + 3.6°

        Tech Tips

        If the displayed results are outside the permissible range, the following are possible causes. Therefore, implement countermeasures, check the blind spot monitor beam axis and perform the procedure again.

        Possible Causes Countermeasure
        Incorrect SST (reflector) position Check the position of SST (reflector) and checking space and perform the procedure again
        A metallic object is located in the vicinity of the checking space Check the position of SST (reflector) and checking space and perform the procedure again
        The blind spot monitor sensor installation is abnormal Check the installation condition of the blind spot monitor sensor

    4. 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.


        Body Electrical > Blind Spot Monitor Master > Utility

        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.

  3. PERFORM BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR INSTALLATION CONDITION INSPECTION

    Note


    • Perform this inspection on level ground.

    • Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.

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

    Tech Tips

    The blind spot monitor sensor installation condition inspection is performed to confirm whether the sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface (+/-2.2°) by using a digital angle gauge, and that the sensor is 46 to 54° from the line parallel to the vehicle center line.


    1. Remove the rear bumper assembly.

    2. Place the digital angle gauge on a level (gradient within 1%) and perform zero-point adjustment as shown in the illustration.

      Set the digital angle gauge to the outward facing surface of the blind spot monitor sensor as shown in the illustration, and check that the perpendicular angle of the blind spot monitor sensor is within the permissible range.

      Standard
      Item Allowable Range
