COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OUTLINE
(a) CAN communication system
(1) The panoramic view monitor system uses CAN communication for data communications between the parking assist ECU and each ECU.
(2) If a problem occurs in the CAN communication line, the parking assist ECU outputs a CAN communication malfunction DTC. (To check, use the Techstream.)
Click here .gif)
(3) If a problem occurs in the CAN communication line, the parking assist ECU outputs a CAN communication malfunction DTC. (To check, use the multi-display assembly diagnosis screen.)
Click here
(4) If a CAN communication line malfunction DTC is output, repair the malfunction in the communication line and troubleshoot the panoramic view monitor system when data communication is normal.
(5) Since the CAN communication line has its own length and route, it cannot be repaired temporarily with a bypass wire, etc.
VIDEO SIGNALS
(a) Video signal circuit
(1) Video signals from the front television camera assembly are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).
(2) Video signals from the side television camera assembly LH are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).
(3) Video signals from the side television camera assembly RH are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).
(4) Video signals from the rear television camera assembly are input into the parking assist ECU via analog communication lines (vehicle wire harness).
(5) Video signals from the parking assist ECU are input into the multi-display assembly via GVIF cable.
(b) Screen display
(1) Video signals input from each camera are processed in the parking assist ECU and displayed on the multi-display assembly as the panoramic view monitor system screen.
