Example of Symptoms Judged Not MalfunctionEKS00BL3
BASIC OPERATION
VEHICLE MARK
Symptom Cause Remedy
No image is shown. Display brightness adjustment is set fully to
DARK side.Adjust the display brightness.
No guide sound is heard.
Audio guide volume is too low or
too high.Volume control is set to OFF, MIN or MAX. Adjust the audio guide volume.
Audio guidance is not available while the vehicle
is driving on a dark pink route.System is not malfunctioning.
Screen is too dark.
Motion of the image is too slow.Temperature inside the vehicle is low. Wait until the temperature inside the vehicle
reaches the proper temperature.
Small black or bright spots appear
on the screen.Symptom peculiar to a liquid crystal display (dis-
play unit).System is not malfunction.
Symptom Cause Remedy
Map screen and BIRDVIEW™
Name of the place varies with the
screen.Some thinning of the character data is done to
prevent the display becoming to complex. In
some cases and in some locations, the display
contents may differ.
The same place name, street name, etc. may not
be displayed every time on account of the data
processing.System is not malfunctioning.
Vehicle mark is not positioned cor-
rectly.Vehicle is transferred by ferry or by towing after its
ignition switch is turned to OFF.Drive the vehicle for a while in the GPS sat-
ellite signal receiving condition.
Screen will not switch to nighttime
mode after the lighting switch is
turned ON.The daytime screen is selected by the “SWITCH
SCREENS” when the last time the screen dim-
ming setting is done.
Switching between daytime/nighttime screen may
be inhibited by the automatic illumination adjust-
ment function.Perform screen dimming and select the
nighttime screen by “SWITCH SCREENS”.
Map screen will not scroll in accor-
dance with the vehicle travel.Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current
location.
Vehicle mark will not be shown. Current location is not displayed. Press “MAP” button to display the current
location.
Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite
mark) on the map screen stays
gray.GPS satellite signal is intercepted because the
vehicle is in or behind a building.Move the vehicle out to an open space.
GPS satellite signal cannot be received because
an obstacle is placed on top of the instrument
panel.Do not place anything in the center on top of
the display.
GPS satellites are not visible from current loca-
tion.Wait until GPS satellites are visible by mov-
ing the vehicle.
Vehicle location accuracy is low. Accuracy indicator (GPS satellite mark) on the
map screen stays gray.Current location is not determined.
Vehicle speed setting by the vehicle speed pulse
has been deviated (advanced or retarded) from
the actual vehicle speed because tire chain is fit-
ted or the system has been used on another vehi-
cle.Drive the vehicle for a while [for approx. 30
minutes at approx. 30 km/h (19 MPH)] and
the deviation will be automatically adjusted.
If advancement or retard still occur, perform
the distance adjustment by CONFIRMA-
TION/ADJUSTMENT mode of diagnosis
function.
Map data has error or omission. (Vehicle mark is
always deviated to the same position.)As a rule, an updated map DVD–ROM will
be released once a year.

BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
Revision: October 20052005 QX56

When BCM is in sleep mode, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters low-cur-
rent-consumption mode. OUTPUTS (2, 3, and 4) turn ON-OFF at 60 ms intervals, and receives lighting
switch input only.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information through the two communication lines (CAN-L, CAN-H)
connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit transmits/receives data, but selectively
reads required data only.
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status

With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.

Control by BCM is being operated properly.

When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.

Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter is
active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status

This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.

It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.

Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to inac-
tive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status

With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.

With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.

Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
4. Sleep status

Revision: October 20052005 QX56

The back door control unit operates the back door motor to open the back door. (At this time, speed con-
trol, input reverse, and overload reverse control are executed.)

When the back door is opened to the fully open position, the full-open position is detected with the rotation
sensor, the back door motor is stopped.

The door held by the back door stays at the full open position.
Full open → full closed operation

When a button of the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
close request signal to the back door control unit.

When the back door control unit receives the back door close request signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote
control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the
back door motor begins closing the back door.

The back door control unit operates the magnetic clutch and the back door motor to close the back door.
(At this time, the back door control unit executes speed control, input reverse, and overload reverse con-
trol.)

When the back door comes to the half-latch state, the back door latch detects the half-latch state through
half-latch switch operation. The back door latch latches the back door.
For the automatic back door system operation enable conditions, refer to BL-99, "
AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR
SYSTEM" .
Active Check Function
Operation Description
When a door is locked or unlocked by keyfob operation, the vehicle turn signals flash and the horn sounds to
verify operation.

When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the remote controller and received by the
keyless remote entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM sends the turn signal flashing and horn signal to the IPDM E/R.

The IPDM E/R flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn for each keyfob operation.
Operating function of hazard and horn reminder
Hazard and Horn Reminder
BCM output to IPDM E/R for horn reminder signal as DATA LINE (CAN-H and CAN-L).
The hazard and horn reminder has C mode (horn chirp mode) and S mode (non-horn chirp mode).
How to change hazard and horn reminder mode
With CONSULT-II
Hazard and horn reminder can be changed using “WORK SUPPORT” mode in “MULTI ANSWER BACK SET".
Without CONSULT-II
Refer to Owner's Manual for instructions.
Interior Lamp Operation
When the following input signals are both supplied:

all door switches are in the OFF position. (when all the doors are closed);

interior lamp switch is in DOOR position.
Remote keyless entry system turns on interior lamp and ignition keyhole illumination (for 30 seconds) with
input of UNLOCK signal from keyfob.
