YES - Go to step 7.

NO - Replace the fuse and recheck.


7. Disconnect the millimeter wave radar 5P connector.

8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

9. Measure the voltage between millimeter wave radar 5P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Repair an open in the wire between the millimeter wave radar and the No. 29 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.






10. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

NO - Go to step 14.






14. Measure the voltage between ACC unit 20P connector terminal No. 17 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
YES - Repair an open in the wire between the ACC unit and the millimeter wave radar.

NO - Check for loose or poor connections. If OK, replace the ACC unit, Service and Repair then go to step 18.






15. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

16. Disconnect the ACC unit 20P connector.

17. Check for continuity between millimeter wave radar 5P connector terminal No. 5 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
YES - Repair a short to ground in the wire between the ACC unit and the millimeter wave radar.

NO - Check for loose or poor connections. If OK, replace the ACC unit, Service and Repair then go to step 18.






18. Clear the DTCs with the HDS.

19. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

20. Watch the ACC indicator and CMBS indicator.

Do both indicators come on?
