Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
    DETERMINE IF CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION IS BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SWITCH OR BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) INDICATOR LIGHT

  • Display the blind spot monitoring (BSM) PID MAIN_SW item using the M-MDS.

    (See PID/DATA MONITOR INSPECTION [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE].)

  • Switch the blind spot monitoring (BSM) switch ON/OFF.

  • Does the PID MAIN_SW monitoring value turn on and off according to the blind spot monitoring (BSM) switch ON/OFF operation?

3
    DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE (LH)

  • Illuminate all the indicator lights and warning lights in the instrument cluster using the simulation function WL+IL in the M-MDS instrument cluster.

    (See ACTIVE COMMAND MODES INSPECTION [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

  • Did the blind spot monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turn on.

Yes

Replace the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (LH).

(See BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) CONTROL MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
