Pre-diagnosis InspectionEKS007EX
SENSOR STATUS CHECK

Check that the rear sonar sensor is properly aligned (bumper is not misaligned, no deformation in sensor
mounting area.

Check that snow, mud, or other foreign objects are not adhering to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that there is no deformation, scratches, or other damage to the rear sonar sensor.

Check that water has not accumulated in the rear sonar sensor.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensor.
1. Check that there are no obstacles within each rear sonar sensor's detection range.
2. Check that there are no nearby ultrasound sources (such as the sounds of vehicle horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes).
3. Check that the vehicle is on a level surface.
Self-diagnosis FunctionEKS007EY
There are four modes of self-diagnosis; entering diagnostics, requesting number of fault codes, requesting
fault codes, and idling or clearing fault codes. These steps must be followed in order. Self-diagnosis can be
manually exited by turning the ignition switch OFF, or selecting reverse gear. Self-diagnosis will exit unless a
fault code request occurs before a message is repeated five times without acknowledgement.
ENTERING DIAGNOSTICS MODE
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Rear sonar system OFF switch indica-
tor lamp illuminates for three seconds and then turns off.
2. Immediately push rear sonar system OFF switch ten times
within five seconds.
3. The sonar buzzer will sound once and the rear sonar system
OFF indicator will flash once.
REQUESTING NUMBER OF FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in diagnostic mode, push rear sonar system OFF switch
once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash once and sonar
buzzer will sound once for each fault code detected.
4. There will be a four second pause.
5. The number of fault codes will repeat five times then pause.
NOTE:
Self-diagnosis will exit unless requesting fault codes occurs
before five repeats ends.
Detection range
Rear sonar sensors Approx. 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) maximum

Revision: August 20072004 QX56
REQUESTING FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "requesting number of fault codes" mode, push rear
sonar system OFF switch once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will
sound the first digit of the fault code followed by a one second
pause.
4. Rear sonar system OFF indicator will flash and sonar buzzer will
sound the second digit of the fault code followed by a four sec-
ond pause.
5. The fault codes will repeat five times then pause.
NOTE:
Requesting fault codes will exit unless the fault code is acknowledged before five repeats ends.
The fault code is acknowledged by pushing the rear sonar system OFF switch once (the sonar buzzer
may sound). When all fault codes have been indicated, idle mode will be entered. See the following table
for fault code identification.
IDLING OR CLEARING FAULT CODES MODE
NOTE:
While in idle mode, self-diagnosis will automatically exit if no activity occurs for thirty seconds.
1. Push and hold rear sonar system OFF switch for three seconds
to reset time-out counter.
2. Push and hold rear sonar system OFF switch for three seconds
to clear codes.
