Pinpoint Test G: The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS(TM)) and Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) System Cannot Be Turned Off In The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Message Center

NOTE: The CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system customer ON/OFF feature in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) is not available on early build hybrid vehicles.

Normal Operation

The Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R) and Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) communicate over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC). The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS(TM)) and the Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system can be turned on and off through the message center which is part of the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster). The CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system cannot be disabled in the message center when the transaxle selector gear is in REVERSE (R).

NOTE: The BLIS(TM) (Blind Spot Information System) and/or CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system are turned off for one key cycle only when using the message center switches. Permanently disabling the BLIS(TM) (Blind Spot Information System) and/or CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system is carried out in the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) programmable parameters menu.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster)

- SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right)

- SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left)

PINPOINT TEST G : THE BLIS(TM) (Blind Spot Information System) AND CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) SYSTEM CANNOT BE TURNED OFF IN THE IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) MESSAGE CENTER

G1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) , SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) AND SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) SELF-TESTS

- Check the IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) , SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) and SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.

Are any IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) , SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) or SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) DTCs recorded?

Yes
For IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) , REFER to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators. REPAIR all IPC (Instrument Panel Cluster) DTCs and RETEST the BLIS(TM) (Blind Spot Information System) and CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system for normal operation.

For SOD-R (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right) or SOD-L (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left) DTCs, REFER to the DTC Charts. Side and Rear Vision

No
GO to G2.

G2 CHECK THE MESSAGE CENTER FOR CORRECT OPERATION

- Check the message center for correct operation, while turning the BLIS(TM) (Blind Spot Information System) and CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) system off and on.

Does the message center operate correctly?

Yes
The system is operating correctly at this time.

No
REFER to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators to diagnose the message center not operating correctly.
