2. FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
Component |
Function |
---|---|
Blind Spot Monitor Sensor |
|
Outer Rear View Mirror Assembly
|
Turns on or blinks the indicator based on a signal from the blind spot monitor sensor. |
Blind Spot Monitor Main Switch Assembly (Warning Canceling Switch Assembly)
|
|
Rear Cross Traffic Alert Buzzer (Blind Spot Monitor Buzzer) |
Sounds based on a signal from the blind spot monitor sensor. |
Combination Meter Assembly
|
|
Main Body ECU (Multiplex Network Body ECU) |
Sends the destination information and the dimmer signal to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly) |
Transmits a vehicle speed signal to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
ECM |
Sends a shift position signal (R) to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication.*1 |
Back-up Light Switch Assembly |
Sends a shift position signal (R) to the blind spot monitor sensor.*2 |
Spiral Cable with Sensor Sub-assembly |
Detects the angle of the steering wheel and sends the resulting signals to the blind spot monitor sensor via CAN communication. |
3. OPERATION DESCRIPTION

Fuel Receiver Gauge Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
The meter CPU uses the fuel sender gauge assembly to determine the level of the
fuel in the fuel tank. The resistance of the fuel sender gauge will vary between
approximately 13.5 Ω with the float at the full position, and 414.5 Ω with the float
at the empty position. The meter ...
