TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX [PARKING SENSOR]

Warning
•  The parking sensor is a device to assist the driver in confirming safety. It is not a substitute for the driver and cannot guarantee 100% safety. Do not rely completely on the parking sensor and drive slowly confirming the safety of the surrounding area visually.
•  The following circumstances may obstruct the ultrasonic waves resulting in an accident:
―  Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to the ultrasonic sensor
―  The ultrasonic sensor is blocked with foreign material (such as bumper stickers)
―  A shock is applied to the bumper in an accident and the ultrasonic sensor installation angle is deviated
―  The ultrasonic sensor is exposed to heavy rain or water-spray from the road
―  There is another device emitting ultrasonic waves (such as a parking sensor of another vehicle) near the ultrasonic sensor
•  The parking sensor may not operate correctly under the following conditions:
―  Ice, snow, or dirt is adhering to the ultrasonic sensor surface
―  The sensor is frozen
―  The vehicle is in a tilted position
―  The vehicle is parked on a steep incline or there is a difference in height between lines
―  Obstructions have approached too close to the ultrasonic sensor
•  The parking sensor may not detect the following items:
―  Thin objects such as wire or rope
―  Items which absorb ultrasonic waves easily, such as cotton or snow
―  Angular-shaped objects
―  Tall objects with protruding at the top
―  Short objects
―  Objects located immediately below the bumper, such as wheel stoppers
•  The warning alert may activate while driving near parked vehicles/guardrails/walls on a narrow road, or while driving on a slope, gravel road, or grass field. This is a normal effect caused by the system's response to ultrasonic waves, and does not indicate a malfunction.
Caution
•  When the trailer switch (dealer option) is switched ON (optional), the parking sensor buzzer does not sound. If the parking sensor system is inspected, perform the inspection after the trailer switch (dealer option) is switched off (non-operational).

No.

Troubleshooting item

Description

1
•  Buzzer does not sound after parking sensor switch is on and R position.
2
•  Malfunction detection sound activates after ignition is switched ON.
3
•  Buzzer does not sound.
•  Detection sound from parking sensor buzzer is weak.
4
•  Does not detect even though obstruction is within the detection area with the detections conditions satisfied.
5
•  Parking sensor detects obstruction while in position other than R position and at a speed other than 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more.
