FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) OPERATION RECORD
id151100001800
Purpose
• For the forward sensing camera (FSC) operation record, the record of the cause for the forward sensing camera (FSC) stopping operation is stored.
Functions
• The operation record is stored by the forward sensing camera (FSC) and displayed using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
• The forward sensing camera (FSC) stores the following when the forward sensing camera (FSC) stops the operation.
-
― Causes for forward sensing camera (FSC) stopping operation
― Traveled distance
― Ambient temperature
― Forward sensing camera (FSC) internal temperature
*1 :The cause of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) to stop operating can be verified using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) as indicated in the following table. The causes are (1) an environmental factor and (2) a vehicle malfunction cause. In case of (1) an environmental factor, there is no problem with the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). In case of (2) a vehicle malfunction cause, perform a DTC inspection, as it is possible that there is a malfunction with the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC).

*2 :Two of the causes which stop the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) from operating are always displayed using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS). If there is one cause, [No Inhibition] is selected.
*3 :The contents of the causes which stop the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) from operating are as follows.
A: Light is blocked by dirty windshield (such as adhesion of leaves or mud)
B: Vehicle is subjected to strong light from the vehicle front, light reflected multidirectionally on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens surface is recognized as a foreign object, or light reflects on the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) lens surface and white haze is recognized as a foreign object.
C: Windshield/Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is dirty, or screen image is distorted by occurrence of condensation (water droplets)
Construction
• Based on the stored record, the forward sensing camera (FSC) displays the following operation record on the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) screen.
Operation
• The forward sensing camera (FSC) stores the operation record at the same time it stops the operation.
• The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) stores the operation resume record at the same time it resumes the operation after stopping the operation.
-
Note
-
• If the ignition is switched OFF while the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) has yet to return to normal after storing the operation stop record, the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) may not store the operation resume record.
Fail-safe
• Not applicable
