  1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTIONS If a terminal contact point malfunction or part installation problem occurs, removal and reinstallation of the suspected part may return the system to normal. However, be aware that the normal condition may only be temporary. Before disconnecting connectors or removing/installing parts, determine the malfunctioning area by checking and writing down the vehicle's condition at the time of the malfunction (DTC outputs, etc.). Be sure to check for DTCs related to other systems. The pre-collision system may be influenced by malfunctions in other systems.
  2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS When removing and installing the ECU, sensor, switch or other pre-collision system related parts, perform the following: Make sure the engine switch is OFF unless otherwise specified in the inspection procedures. After the removal/installation, check for DTCs and confirm that a normal system code is output.

Scheme 38: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
  1. PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM The pre-collision system optimizes and activates occupant protection equipment (see below) to attempt to reduce damage due to a collision.
  2. OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM Operating Condition Control Transmitting ECU Receiving ECU Part operated Operates according to sensor detection Pre-collision seat belts Distance control ECU Seat belt control ECU Front seat outer belts Operates according to sensor detection Pre-collision brake assist Distance control ECU Skid control ECU Brake assist system Operates when sudden braking occurs Pre-collision seat belts Skid control ECU Seat belt control ECU Front seat outer belts When operating according to sensor detection: The millimeter wave radar sensor detects vehicles and other objects on the road in front of the user's vehicle. The distance control ECU determines if a collision is unavoidable based on object position, speed and track information. If the distance control ECU determines that a collision is unavoidable, it transmits this information to the following areas using CAN communication: Seat belt control ECU (initiates control of pre-collision seat belts) Skid control ECU (activates pre-collision brake assist system) When operating as a result of sudden braking: The skid control ECU uses brake pressure information and other data to determine if the driver has suddenly applied the brakes. If so, the skid control ECU sends a signal to the seat belt control ECU through CAN communication and the pre-collision seat belt activates.
  3. OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SEAT BELT CONTROL The pre-collision seat belt operates depending on what the sensor detects, or whether sudden braking has occurred. The pre-collision seat belt motor tightens the seat belt to optimize occupant restraint performance. Operative condition Refer to the sensor and sudden braking descriptions under «OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM»(ref-235580-S36032640022006062400000) .
  4. OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM The pre-collision brake assist system operates depending on what the sensor detects. The system then enters standby mode before a collision. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, brake fluid pressure is increased to improve fluid pressure response and improve vehicle speed reduction rate. Operative condition Refer to the sensor description under «OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM»(ref-235580-S36032640022006062400000) . When the driver depresses the brake pedal after the distance control ECU determines that a collision is unavoidable: Brake fluid pressure is increased at the same time the driver depresses the brake pedal. When the driver depresses the brake pedal before the distance control ECU determines that a collision is unavoidable: Brake fluid pressure is increased at the same time that the distance control ECU receives a pre-collision sensor signal (indicating that other vehicles or objects are in front of the vehicle).

(2) Operator according to sensor detection. (3) Inoperative parts are different depending on malfunction areas. (4) Only operates when seat belt is fastened.
  6. PRECAUTION FOR PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM OPERATION When the millimeter wave radar sensor detects an object in front of the vehicle under the conditions described below, the distance control ECU may determine that a collision is unavoidable, and activate the pre-collision system. This activation of the system is not abnormal. HINT: The pre-collision system will not activate when the pre-collision sensor detects safety cones and other plastic objects. The pre-collision system may or may not activate when the pre-collision sensor detects the following objects: people, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, animals and snow fences. OBJECT TYPE AND EXAMPLE Object Type Example Objects that cannot be detected Plastic items (safety cones) Objects that cannot be detected in a stable manner People, bicycles, motorcycles, trees, animals, snow fence, etc.

INITIALIZATION

  1. Precautions for Seat Belt Control ECU Replacement The seat belt control ECU operates the pre-collision system based on the stored data that informs that the vehicle is LHD or RHD model. LHD or RHD refers to the seating position of the driver, not which side of the road the vehicle is driven on. Therefore, when replacing the seat belt control ECU, it is necessary to store the information about whether the vehicle is a LHD or RHD model. This can be performed by following these steps: Turn the engine switch on (IG). The PCS warning light comes on for at least 3 seconds after turning the engine switch on (IG). Make sure that the warning light does not remain on. At this time, the seat belt control ECU receives vehicle configuration (LHD/RHD) information from the gateway ECU and stores it in memory. Connect the intelligent tester (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Following the display on the tester, select the "Active Test".
