CMBS Indicator
When the system is OK, the CMBS indicator comes on for about 2 seconds after pressing the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, then it goes off.
The CMBS indicator comes on when the ACC unit detects a problem in the system.
Note. The ACC indicator indicates problems related with the ACC system and the CMBS. The CMBS indicator only indicates its system problems. The CMBS works with related systems such as the VSA system. If these related systems have a problem, the CMBS does not operate. In this case, the CMBS indicator and the related system indicator come on.
Scheme 79
When a problem is detected by the self-diagnostic function, the CMBS stops operating, turns on the CMBS indicator, indicates the problem on the MID, and stores the DTC.
CMBS OFF Switch
Press and hold the CMBS OFF switch for at least 1 second to turn the CMBS off and on.
CMBS Indication
- When the system is OK, the CMBS indicator comes on for 2 seconds after press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode with the CMBS OFF switch on.
- When the system is activated, the word BRAKE is indicated on the MID and the warning buzzer sounds. First stage, BRAKE indicator and buzzer Second stage, BRAKE indicator, buzzer, light braking, and light seat belt tension Third stage, BRAKE indicator, buzzer, strong braking, and strong seat belt tension
- If the system stops operating because of a problem, the MID indicates the problem.
ACC Unit
The ACC unit controls the brakes and the various driver warnings when the system recognizes the possibility of a collision.
The ACC unit has a self-diagnostic function. If the system detects a problem, it stops the CMBS, and turns on the CMBS indicator.
CMBS Initial Check
The ACC unit turns on the CMBS indicator if the CMBS initial check is not completed.
Note. For proper CMBS operation, if the ACC unit or the VSA modulator-control unit is replaced, do the CMBS initial check incomplete troubleshooting (DTC 100) (see DTC 100: CMBS INITIAL CHECK INCOMPLETE ).
Millimeter Wave Radar
The millimeter wave radar calculates the distance between the moving vehicle ahead and your vehicle, and detects the two vehicles' speed differential.
The ACC unit receives this information from the millimeter wave radar.
The millimeter wave radar also has an error detection function, and it sends a signal to the ACC unit if an error is detected.
How to Troubleshoot DTCs
Check and clear the DTCs with the HDS.
Note. When both the ACC and CMBS indicators come on, do the ACC system troubleshooting first (except DTC 100).
Before troubleshooting, check and note these items
- Ask the client about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions for troubleshooting.
- If the symptom does not appear and the CMBS indicator does not come on during the test-drive, but troubleshooting is done based on the DTC, check for poor connections or loose terminals at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting.
- After the troubleshooting, or repairs are done, clear the DTCs, and test-drive the vehicle under the same conditions as when the DTC was originally set. Make sure the CMBS indicator does not come on.
- The ACC system and the CMBS may sometimes stop control because of the environment (weather, road conditions, driving conditions, etc.). A DTC may be stored in these cases.
DTCs may be stored even when the system is OK
Note. The ACC indicator will not come on, but the CMBS indicator does come on when the following DTCs are stored.

System Description
The collision mitigation braking system (CMBS) anticipates collisions and assists brake operation to reduce the impact on occupants and vehicle damage. The system works in combination with the E-pretensioners, which retract the seat belts in anticipation of impact.
CMBS Operation
- Warnings are both audible (warning buzzer) and visual (MID)
- Evasive action support and collision speed reduction by brake control
(1) Approaching a vehicle ahead: The CMBS warns the driver by a MID indication twice, after that it warns by a MID indication and buzzer sound. (2) Closer to vehicle ahead: Warning by a MID indication and buzzer sound. CMBS aids perception and evasive action by using the sensory warning of light braking and light seat belt tension. (3) Collision unavoidable: Warnings by a MID indication and buzzer sound. CMBS reduces collision speed to mitigate damage and applies strong seat belt tension to reduce injuries
Scheme 82
Scheme 83
Scheme 84
Main Functions of CMBS
- When a collision is about to happen and the relative speed (the speed difference from the object ahead) is greater than 9 mph (15 km/h), the system provides warnings (audible and visual) and brake control.
- When approaching a object ahead and the distance to the vehicle is very close, the system provides the collision warning (First stage) by MID indication and buzzer sounding.
- When the closing distance continues to decrease and there is a high risk of collision, the system applies light braking and light seat belt tension (Second stage) with the first stage warning.
- When the system judges that a collision is imminent, the system activates emergency brake control and applies strong seat belt tension (Third stage) with the first stage.
CMBS Control
The CMBS is operated by the ACC unit. The CMBS has the following functions
Obstacle Determination Function
The system determines the potential for collision by the distance from the vehicle ahead and the relative speed based on the millimeter wave radar and the predictable course calculated by the driving conditions (wheel speed and yaw rate).
Warning Function
When there is a high risk of collision, the system sends warning directions to the gauge control module and warns by both audible and visual means.
Brake Control Function
When there is a high risk of collision, the system sends brake directions to the VSA modulator-control unit and controls braking action.
CMBS Activation Conditions
The system might activate (warn the driver, apply the brakes) when it detects or encounters these situations
- Metallic projections on the road
- Metallic manhole and drain covers
- Signs and guardrails ahead
- Low overpasses and narrow gates
- Approaching vehicles that are turning left or right
- Passing slower vehicles ahead
The system might not activate (no warning or intervention) when it detects or encounters these situations
- Low-speed, heavy traffic (such as in a traffic jam)
- Being cut-off by a slower vehicle
- Approaching a vehicle stopped at an angle
- Driving on curves
- Approaching a bicycle or moped
- Dirt or snow stuck on the front grille radar cover
- Heavy rain or snow
When the CMBS activates, it sounds and feels just like ABS activation.
