INSPECT MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR ASSEMBLY (BEAM AXIS MISALIGNMENT READING)*

NOTICE:

Before checking for millimeter wave radar sensor beam axis misalignment, make sure that the radiator grille and front bumper are correctly installed and have not been damaged or modified.

(a) Adjust the reflector height.

Click here

(b) Place the reflector.

Click here

(c) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(e) Turn the Techstream on.

(f) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Front Radar Sensor / Utility / Front Beam Axis Misalignment Reading.

Body Electrical > Front Radar Sensor > Utility

Tester Display

Front Beam Axis Misalignment Reading

(g) Check the amount of misalignment.

Standard:

Vertical Direction

-5 to 5 deg.

Horizontal Direction

-0.6 to 0.6 deg.

HINT:

The millimeter wave radar sensor assembly automatically calibrates the beam axis while the vehicle is being driven. The specified values apply to the automatic calibration only and do not apply during manual beam axis calibration of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.
