ICC SYSTEM CANNOT BE SET (M AIN SWITCH TURNS ON/OFF)
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000001744723
The ICC cannot be set in the following cases.
• When the vehicle speed is not in range of approx. 40 km/h (25 MPH) to 144 km/h (89 MPH).
• When the selector lever is in "N".
• While the brake is in operation.
• When the windshield wipers are operating.
1.CHECK CAUSE OF AUTOMATIC CANCELLATION
1. With “CAUSE OF AUTO-CANCEL” in "WORK SUPPORT ", check if any cause of cancellation exists.
Is there a cause of cancellation stored?
YES >> • Cancel with appropriate cause. • For causes A, B, or C, go to specified diagnosis.A: “OPE SW VOLT CIRC” : Refer to CCS-30, "
DTC 46 OPERATION SW CIRC".
B: “VHCL SPD UNMATCH” : Refer to CCS-26, "
DTC 41 VHCL SPEED SE CIRC".
C: “IGN LOW VOLT” : Refer to CCS-25, "
DTC 31 POWER SUPPLY CIR1, DTC 34
POWER SUPPLY CIR2".
NO >> GO TO 2
2.PERFORM SELF-DIAGNOSIS
1. Perform -self-diagnosis to check for malfunctioning items.
Does the ICC have any DTC’s stored?
YES >> Repair or replace as necessary, erase DT C. Perform ICC system running test. Refer to CCS-8,
"ACTION TEST : ICC System Running Test".
NO >> GO TO 3
3.CHECK SWITCHES AND VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL
1. With "DATA MONITOR", check that the followi ng switches and vehicle speed signal operate normally.
A: VHCL SPEED SE B: NP RANGE SW
C: BRAKE SW D: SET/COAST SW
Do the monitor items display properly?
YES >> Replace ICC unit and erase DTC. Refer to CCS-70, "ICC Unit". Perform ICC system running test.
Refer to CCS-8, "
ACTION TEST : ICC System Running Test".
NO >> • A: Refer to CCS-26, "
DTC 41 VHCL SPEED SE CIRC".
• B: Refer to CCS-61, "
Diagnosis Procedure".
• C: Refer to CCS-28, "
DTC 45 BRAKE SW/STOP L SW".

PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
• Intelligent Cruise Control is functionally limited. This never support careless driving and low visibility (rain,fog, etc.). Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe di stance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed
according to the driving condition etc.
• Intelligent Cruise Control never stop the vehicle autom atically. Intelligent Cruise Control is automatically
released, and the buzzer sounds if any vehicle ahead is not detected when the vehicle speed is approxi-
mately 35 km (21.5 MPH) or less.
• Use this system when the vehicle speed does not extr emely change. This system may not properly function
when any vehicle cuts in, or when the vehicle ahead s uddenly applies the brake. Then, the warning (buzzer
and indication) activates.
• Never use Intelligent Cruise Control in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the dr iving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- The vehicle drives in bad whet her (rain, fog, snow etc.).
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if the whether condition is bad. Intelligent
Cruise Control is released automatically if the wiper activates in low or high speed.
- The vehicle receives bright light (sunshine etc.). The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected pr ecisely if bright light enters in the vehicle.
- Raindrop or snow is on the sensor.
The distance from the vehicle ahead is not detected prec isely if raindrop or snow attaches on the sensor.
- A steep downhill The setting vehicle speed may exceed if Intelligent Cruise Control does not detect the vehicle ahead. The
brake may heat up in the vehicle- to-vehicle distance control mode.
- A repeated uphill and downhill Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicl e ahead precisely. An accident may occur by tailgating.
- Maintaining proper vehicle distance is difficult due to frequent acceleration/deceleration. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition if keeping a proper vehicle-
to-vehicle distance is difficult.
- When entering in the highway interchange (swerving off the main line),
Unexpected accident may cause if the vehicle ahead drives slower
than the preset vehicle speed. T he vehicle-to-vehicle distance con-
trol mode accelerates automatically because the vehicle ahead is
not detected on the lane if the own vehicle or the vehicle ahead
changes the lane.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the parking vehicles, and vehicles driving extremely slow er than the own vehicle. Never
hit the vehicle stopping at a tollgate, or the tail end of traffic jam.
• Intelligent Cruise Control does not activate to the vehicle edging way, and non-vehicle objects (passengers etc.).
• This function detects the reflector of the vehicle ahead. Intelligent Cruise Control may not detect the vehicle
ahead, and keep a proper vehicle-to-vehicle distance in t he following conditions. Drive the vehicle according
to the driving condition.
- The vehicle ahead installs the reflector higher (trailer etc.).
- The rear of the vehicle ahead is extremely dirt.
- The vehicle ahead or vehicle on other lanes splashes water or snow on the road.
- The vehicle ahead provides dark exhaust gas. Smoke blocks the visibility.
- The vehicle ahead attaches film on the reflector. The v ehicle ahead does not install the reflector. The reflec-
tor is broken.
- Extremely heavy load is on the rear seat or in the cargo area.
- The vehicle drives on a repeated uphill and downhill

• The sensor detection distance is limited if the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is close. The vehicle distance may not maintain properly
because the motorcycle (A) driving on the lane edge is not
detected or detecting the vehicle ahead (cutting in the own vehicle)
delays.
• The sensor dirt is detected automat ically. But it is not perfect. Dirt
is not judged despite the sensor is dirt. Dirt is not detected if snow
or ice is on the sensor.
Keeping the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is difficult. Drive the vehi-
cle safely. Always clean the sensor.
Intelligent Cruise Control is released automatically if dirt is
detected.
• The vehicle ahead may not be detected temporarily, the vehicle or object on the neighboring lane may be
detected or the warning buzzer may sound according to the road shape (curve and narrow road) and the
own vehicle condition (steering, driving lane position, accident , malfunction etc.).
The vehicle ahead is not detected temporarily. The vehicle approaches too close.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CONVENTIONAL (F IXED SPEED) CRUISE CONTROL MODE
• Conventional cruise control mode does neither control the brake nor activate the warning.
Drive the vehicle safely. Keep a safe distance between vehicles by decreasing the vehicle speed according
to the driving condition etc.
• Never use the conventional cruise control mode in the following conditions.
- A well-trafficed road, and a tight turn. It may cause any accident because the driving does not fit to the road condition.
- A slippery road (e.g., freezing, or snowy road) The vehicle may lose the control by wheelspin.
- A steep downhill The engine brake does not activate effectively on a steep downhill. The preset vehicle speed may exceed.
