Title: CRUISE CONTROL: MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR: DRIVING ADJUSTMENT; 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [12/2021 -        ]

DRIVING ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:

Radiofrequency radiation exposure information:

  • This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
  • This equipment should be kept with minimum distance of 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radiator (antenna) and your body at all times during adjustment.
  • This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

NOTICE:

  • Make sure to read "Before Starting Driving Adjustment" before proceeding with work.

  • Make sure to perform the transition to online axis alignment mode with the vehicle stopped.
  • Transitioning to online axis alignment mode will erase the learning value, so make sure to complete the adjustment.
  • Turning the ignition switch off while in online axis alignment mode will cause the system to exit online axis alignment mode, so to continue with the adjustment, it is necessary to transition to online axis alignment mode again.
  • All of the driving support system functions will be inoperative while the adjustment is in progress.
  • When driving the vehicle with the Techstream connected, be careful with how the wires are routed.
  • If the adjustment does not complete even after driving for 15 minutes or more cumulatively, change to a different driving route.
  • If the adjustment does not complete even after driving for 30 minutes or more cumulatively, perform adjustment by target recognition.
  • After adjustment is complete, to start the various systems it is necessary to turn the ignition switch off and then to ON again.
  • In situations such as when the online axis alignment terminates abnormally, to perform online axis alignment again, turn the ignition switch off and then back to ON and enter online axis alignment mode again.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR OPTICAL AXIS LEARNING

(a) Adjust the tire pressures to the standard values.

(b) Clean away any foreign matter adhering to the surface of the radiator grille emblem.

(c) Check that there is no damage or deformation around the front exterior area of the vehicle.

(d) Make sure the surfaces of the radiator grille emblem and millimeter wave radar sensor assembly are clean and have no dirt, snow, or other matter adhering to them.

(e) Check that the front bumper assembly and radiator grille installation areas have no damage or deformation.

(f) Transition to online axis alignment mode

(1) With the ignition switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(3) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Front Radar Sensor / Utility / Transition to Online Axis Alignment Mode.

Body Electrical > Front Radar Sensor > Utility

Tester Display

Transition to Online Axis Alignment Mode

(4) Press "Next".

(5) Check the Techstream screen and confirm that it has transitioned to online axis alignment mode.

(g) Online axis adjustment (Optical Axis Learning)

(1) Drive the vehicle to perform optical axis learning.

HINT:

If the alignment is performed with the Techstream connected to the vehicle, the alignment progress can be monitored through 5 stages on the Techstream screen.

(2) If the online axis alignment completes normally, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 2 seconds.

NOTICE:

  • If the alignment terminates abnormally, the buzzer will sound for 3 seconds continuously.
  • If an error code is displayed, perform troubleshooting according to the following table, then perform the beam axis alignment again.

    Error No.

    Error Description

    Cause of Error

    Action to be Taken

    6

    Target angle abnormality

    • SST (reflector) is placed incorrectly.
    • The beam axis of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is outside the automatic correction range.

    Place SST (reflector) in the correct position. (See page 2. MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY (b) Place SST (reflector))

    Check the installation condition of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

    Check the fitting accuracy of the front bumper assembly and the radiator grille.

    7

    Radar abnormality

    Operation of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is abnormal.

    Replace the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

    8

    Radar dirtiness

    There is dirt on the surface of the radar sensor cover or millimeter wave radar sensor.

    Check the surfaces of the radar sensor cover and millimeter wave radar sensor and clean away contaminants.

    9

    Temperature abnormality

    Ambient temperature of millimeter wave radar sensor is outside operable range.

    Wait until temperature returns to the operable range for beam axis alignment (-30 to 50°C).

    10

    Voltage abnormality

    IG power source voltage is outside the operable range of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

    Check battery voltage. Nominal voltage: DC 12 V, Operable range: DC 10 V to 16 V
