Preliminary CheckINFOID:0000000005146183
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the sonar sensor preliminary check is to confirm that there are no outside factors affecting the
sonar system.
CONDITIONS
• Ignition switch ON
• No obstructions within 3.0 m (10 ft.) of sonar sensors
SONAR SENSOR STATUS CHECK
• Check that the sonar sensors are properly aligned (no deformation in sensor mounting areas).
• Check that snow, mud or other foreign obj ects are not adhering to the sonar sensors.
• Check that there is no deformation, scratc hes or other damage to the sonar sensors.
• Check that water has not accu mulated in the sonar sensors.
CAUTION:
Use water, cotton swab, or other soft material for cleaning the sensors.
1. Check that there are no obstacles wit hin each 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.

FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS
REAR SONAR SYSTEM
System DiagramINFOID:0000000005146184
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146185
FUNCTION
With power and ground supplied, transmission gear selector lever in R position, and the sonar system OFF
switch ON, the rear sonar system will detect obstacles withi n 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) of the rear sonar sensors. The
vehicle operator is notified of obstacles by varied rate of tone from the sonar buzzer depending on distance of
obstacle being sensed.
SONAR SYSTEM OFF SWITCH
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit, transmission gear selector lever in R position, the
sonar system can be disabled and the sonar buzzer silenced by momentarily pressing the sonar system OFF
switch. The sonar system OFF indicator lamp will be illuminated in the sonar system OFF switch.
The rear sonar system and buzzer will be disabled and t he sonar system OFF indicator will be illuminated until
the ignition switch is turned OFF. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the rear sonar system will be
enabled. Depressing the sonar system OFF switch again will enable the rear sonar system also. Enabling the
rear sonar system will cause the rear sonar system OFF i ndicator to go out. If the indicator light is blinking
there is a malfunction in the system.
SONAR BUZZER
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit and the A/T selector lever in R position, a stationary
object that is at least 7.0 cm (2.8 in.) wide and 1.0 m (39. 0 in.) tall and that is closer than 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) will be
detected by the rear sonar sensors, causing the sonar buzzer to sound a tone. As the vehicle moves closer to
the object, the rate of the tone will increase. When the object is less than 25.0 cm (10 in.) from the rear
bumper, the tone will sound continuously.
REAR SONAR SENSORS
With power and ground supplied to the rear sonar sens ors, the sonar sensors transmit an ultrasonic signal.
This signal is reflected back to the sensor by objects large enough and close enough to be detected. The rear
sonar sensors measure the time from the transmitted si gnal to the time the signal is reflected back and sends
this information to the sonar control unit.
BACK-UP LAMP RELAY
The back-up lamp relay provides a reverse signal to the sonar control unit.

< FUNCTION DIAGNOSIS >
REAR SONAR SYSTEM
1. Turn ignition switch ON. Sonar system OFF switch indicatorlamp illuminates for three seconds and then turns off.
2. Immediately push sonar system OFF switch ten times within five
seconds.
3. The sonar buzzer will sound once and the sonar system OFF indicator will flash once.
REQUESTING NUMBER OF FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "entering diagnostic mode", push sonar system OFF
switch once within 30 seconds of entering diagnostic mode.
NOTE:
If the number of fault codes is not requested within 30 seconds
after entering diagnostic mode, the system will return to regular
operation mode.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. 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 faul t codes mode" occurs before five repeats ends.
REQUESTING FAULT CODES MODE
1. While in "requesting number of fault codes" mode, push sonar
system OFF switch once.
2. The sonar buzzer will sound once.
3. 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. 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. Each fault code will repeat five times then pause.
6. Write down each fault code. Then, acknowledge the fault code by pushing the sonar system OFF switch once (the sonar buzzer may sound).
NOTE:
"Requesting fault codes mode" will exit unless the f ault code is acknowledged before it is repeated five
times. When all fault codes have been indicated, "clearing fault codes mode" will be entered. Refer to
SN-30, "
DTC Index".
CLEARING FAULT CODES MODE
NOTE:
While in "clearing fault codes mode", self-diagnosis will automatically exit if no activity occurs for 30 seconds.

System DiagramINFOID:0000000005146189
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000005146190
FUNCTION
With power and ground supplied, transmission gear selector lever in R position, and the sonar system OFF
switch ON, the sonar system will detect obstacles within 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) of the rear sonar sensors and the two
outer front sonar sensors. The vehicle operator is notif ied of obstacles by varied rate of tone from the rear
sonar buzzer depending on distance of obstacle being sens ed. If the vehicle speed reaches 50 km/h (31
MPH) the sonar syst em will shut down.
With power and ground supplied, transmission gear selector lever in a forward drive gear, and the sonar sys-
tem OFF switch ON, the front sonar system will detect obstacles within 1.0 m (3 ft.) of the front sonar sensors.
The vehicle operator is notified of obstacles by varied rate of tone from the front sonar buzzer depending on
distance of obstacle being sensed. When the vehicle accelerates to 12 km/h (7.5 MPH) the sonar system will
shut down. When the vehicle decelerates to 8 km/h (5 MPH) the sonar system will turn back on.
SONAR SYSTEM OFF SWITCH
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit, transmission gear selector lever in a position other
than P, the sonar system can be di sabled and the sonar buzzers silenced by momentarily pressing the sonar
system OFF switch. The sonar system OFF indicator lamp will be illuminated in the sonar system OFF switch.
The sonar system and buzzers will be di sabled and the sonar system OFF indicator will be illuminated until the
ignition switch is turned OFF. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the sonar system will be enabled.
Depressing the sonar system OFF switch again will enabl e the sonar system also. Enabling the sonar system
will cause the sonar system OFF indicator to go out. The indicator will flash if a malfunction exists in the sys-
tem.
SONAR BUZZERS
With power and ground supplied to the sonar control unit and the A/T selector lever in R position, a stationary
object that is at least 9.0 cm (3.5 in.) wide and that is closer than 1.8 m (5.9 ft.) will be detected by the rear
sonar sensors and the two outer front sonar sensors, causing the rear sonar buzzer to sound a tone. As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the rate of the tone will increase. When the object is less than 25.0 cm (10
in.) from the rear bumper, the tone will sound continuously.

front sonar sensors, causing the front sonar buzzer to sound a tone. As the vehicle moves closer to the object,
the rate of the tone will increase. When the object is less than 30 cm (12 in.) from the front bumper, the tone
will sound continuously.
