2003 LEXUS LS430 turn signal

1.GENERAL
a. The dynamic radar cruise control system has two cruise control modes: the constant speed control
mode and vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
The vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is always selected when starting up the
dynamic radar cruise control system.
Operation of the constant speed control mode is the same as that for the conventional type
cruise control system.
b. This system maintains the vehicle running at the speed that the driver has set, as long as there are
no vehicles ahead in the same lane. Then, the system maintains the vehicle distance that has been
set by the driver.
If the system detects a vehicle moving at a slower speed ahead while the driver is driving at a
constant speed, it closes the throttle valve to decelerate. If further deceleration is required, the
system controls the brake actuator in order to apply the brakes. Thereafter, if there are no vehicles
ahead within the set vehicle-to-vehicle distance because either the vehicle ahead or the driver has
changed lanes, the system accelerates slowly to reach the set vehicle speed and resumes driving at
the constant speed.
c. The constant speed control mode is designed to maintain a constant cruising speed. The vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode is designed to control cruising at a constant speed function,
deceleration cruising function, follow-up cruising function and acceleration cruising function.
d. The millimeter wave radar sensor and the distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) control the
system while the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is in operation, and send signals to each
actuator and ECU.
e. In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the dynamic radar cruise control system receives
signals from the yaw rate & deceleration sensor and the steering angle sensor. Based on these
signals, it then estimates curve radius and compensates for information on the preceding vehicle
while turning. It can also compensate for the brake control when approaching another vehicle.
f. This system judges the existence of a vehicle in front and the distance to it based on the signals
from the radar sensor while the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is in operation. Using this
information, the system informs the driver of any danger with the warning buzzer, performs brake
control, and turns on the stop lamp when approaching the vehicle in front.
g. The following illustration shows a control example under the following conditions: own vehicle
speed is 100 km/h (62 mph) and the speed of the vehicle in front is 80 km/h (50 mph).

The distance control ECU (cruise control ECU) determines the distance between a vehicle in front and
your own, relative speed, target decreasing speed and deceleration rate to transmit a brake demand signal
to the skid control ECU via ECM.
6.DOWNSHIFT CONTROL
While the cruise control system is in operation, the gear may downshift from overdrive (6th) to 5th on an
uphill road. After the gear is shifted down to 5th, if the system determines that the uphill inclination has
become smaller based on throttle opening, the gear automatically returns to overdrive (6th).
7.AUTO CANCEL (FAIL-SAFE)
This system has an automatic cancellation function (fail-safe) (for details, SEE FAIL
-SAFE CHART ).
The hand-held tester can be used at steps 4, a, 6, 7, and 12.

a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. According to the display on the tester, perform the "ACTIVE TEST".

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the brake pedal is depressed, the stop lamp switch assy sends a signal to the ECM. When the ECM
receives this signal, it cancels the cruise control.
The fail-safe function operates to enable normal driving even if there is a malfunction in the stop lamp signal
circuit.
The cancel condition occurs when positive battery voltage is applied to terminal STP.
When the brake is applied, battery positive voltage is normally applied to terminal STP of the ECM through the
STOP fuse and the stop lamp switch ass
y, and the ECM turns the cruise control off.

b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and turn the hand-held tester main switch on.
c. Select the item "STP LIGHT SW M", "STP LIGHT SW S1" or "STP LIGHT SW S2" in the DATA
LIST, and read its value displayed on the hand-held tester.
d. Check that the stop lamp comes on when the brake pedal is depressed, and goes off when the brake
pedal is released.

The ECM receives signals from each sensor to control all the functions of the cruise control with the
microcomputer.
When a malfunction is detected, fail-safe remains on until the ignition switch is turned off.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.REPLACE ECM (SEE REPLACEMENT
)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The distance control ECU receives information about the area in front of the vehicle from the millimeter wave
radar sensor and then sends a brake control demand signal (deceleration demand) and diagnosis signals, such as
millimeter wave radar sensor grime or millimeter wave radar sensor malfunction, to the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This circuit uses CAN for communication. Therefore, if there are any malfunctions in the communication
circuit, one or more DTCs in the CAN communication system is/are output.
1.GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM (SEE PRECAUTION
)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In the dynamic radar cruise control system, the ECM and the distance control ECU communicate with one
another to control the system based on some designation information. If the designation information of the
ECM and distance control ECU is different from each other, this DTC is recorded.
DTC P1617 PROBLEM SYMPTOM DIAGNOSTIC
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.CONFIRM THE DESIGNATION INFORMATION
a. If this DTC is output, confirm the designation information by following the procedures below.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Push the ON-OFF button of the cruise main switch on.
3. With the brake pedal depressed, push the cruise control main switch to RES/ACC 3 times
within 3 seconds. Check that the VSC buzzer sounds at this time.
If the light control switch is turned on by mistake, readjust the optical axis (refer to
ADJUSTMENT
for optical axis adjustment).

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The distance control switch sets the vehicle-to-vehicle distance mode.
The distance control switch (DISP2 button) is installed in the steering pad switch modulator. The vehicle-to-
vehicle distance set value can be changed by operating the distance control switch (DISP2 button) while the
dynamic radar cruise control system is in operation.
The steering pad switch modulator uses BEAN to communicate with each ECU. Therefore it does not have a
direct connection with the ECM. If there are any malfunctions in the communication line of the steering pad
switch modulator, one or more DTCs in the multiplex communication system is/are output.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.READ VALUE ON HAND-HELD TESTER
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
c. Select the item "DISP2 (MULTI MODE SW)" in the DATA LIST, and read its value on the hand-
held tester.
