DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (AV CONTROL UNIT)
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006216218
 The AV control unit diagnosis function starts up with multifunction switch operation and the AV control unit
performs a diagnosis for each unit in the system during the on board diagnosis.
 Perform a CONSULT-III diagnosis if the on board diagnosis does not start, e.g., the screen does not display
anything, the multifunction switch does not function, etc.
On Board Diagn osis FunctionINFOID:0000000006216219
MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH AND PRESET SWITCH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION
The ON/OFF operation (continuity) of each switch in the multifunction switch and preset switch can be
checked.
Self-diagnosis Mode
 Press the “BACK” switch and the “UP” switch of the 8-direction switches within 10 seconds after turning the ignition switch from
OFF to ACC and hold them for 3 seconds or more. Then the
buzzer sounds, all indicators of the preset switch illuminate, and
the self-diagnosis mode starts.
 The continuity of each switch at the ON position can be checked
by pressing the switch. The buzzer sounds if the switch is normal.
NOTE:
The hazard switch and disk eject switch cannot be checked.
Finishing Self-diagnosis Mode
Self-diagnosis mode is canceled when turning the ignition switch OFF.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSIS
Description
 The trouble diagnosis function has a self-diagnosis mode for conducting trouble diagnosis automatically and
a confirmation/adjustment mode for operating manually.
 The self-diagnosis mode performs diagnoses on the AV control unit, connections between system compo-
nents as well as connections between AV contro l unit and GPS antenna. Then it displays the diagnosis
results on the display.
 The confirmation/adjustment mode allows the technician to check, modify or adjust the vehicle signals and
set values, as well as to monitor the system erro r records and system communication status. The checking,
modifying or adjusting generally require human inte rvention and judgment (the system cannot make judg-
ment automatically).

Mode Description
Self Diagnosis  AV control unit diagnosis.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (AV CONTROL UNIT)
The steering angle output value detected with the gyroscope is
adjusted.
SPEED CALIBRATION
During normal driving, distance error caused by tire wear and tire
pressure change is automatically adjusted for by the automatic dis-
tance correction function. This function, on the other hand, is for
immediate adjustment, in cases such as driving with tire chain fitted
on tires.
Error History
The self-diagnosis results are judged depending on whether any error occurs from when “Self-diagnosis” is
selected until the self-diagnosis results are displayed.
However, the diagnosis results are judged normal if an error has occurred before the ignition switch is turned
ON and then no error has occurred until the self-diagnosis start. Check the “Error Record” to detect any error
that may have occurred before the self-di agnosis start because of this situation.
The error record displays the time and place of the most recent occurrence of that error. However, take note of
the following points.
 If there is a malfunction with the GPS antenna circuit board in the AV control unit, the correct date and time
of occurrence may not be able to be displayed.
 Place of the error occurrence is represented by the posit ion of the current location mark at the time an error
occurred. If current location mark has deviated from t he correct position, then the place of the error occur-
rence cannot be located correctly.
 The frequency of occurrence is displayed in a count up manner. The actual count up method differs depend- ing on the error item.
Count up method A
 The counter resets to 0 if an error occurs when igniti on switch is turned ON. The counter increases by 1 if
the condition is normal at a next ignition ON cycle.
 The counter upper limit is 39. Any counts exceeding 39 are ignored.“ The counter can be reset (no error
record display) with the “Delete log” switch or CONSULT-III.
Count up method B
 The counter increases by 1 if an error occurs when i gnition switch is ON. The counter will not decrease even
if the condition is normal at the next ignition ON cycle.
 The counter upper limit is 50. Any counts exceeding 50 are ignored. “ The counter can be reset (no error
record display) with the “Delete log” switch or CONSULT-III.
