  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis adjustment
  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle and a DTC may be stored.
  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced with a new one, it is necessary to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment and front radar acceleration sensor calibration, and to clear the vehicle control history.
