Toyota CH-R Service Manual: System Description

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

(a) The pre-collision system uses the pre-collision alarm control, pre-collision brake assist control and pre-collision brake control to help avoid a collision or reduce the impact if it determines that the possibility of a collision is high or a collision is unavoidable based on the position and relative speed of a preceding vehicle.

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM SENSOR DESCRIPTION

(a) The pre-collision system sensor receives information on vehicles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and forward recognition camera and determines in advance the risk of collision and whether the collision can be avoided, based on the position and vehicle speed.

FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS

COMPONENTS

FUNCTION

Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor Assembly

  • Radiates millimeter radar waves forward and uses reflected waves to detect the distance to, direction of, and relative speed of objects in front of the vehicle.
  • Determines if the possibility of a collision is high or a collision is unavoidable based on the signals from each sensor and sends brake request signals to the skid control ECU.
  • Sends request signals to illuminate the warning lights, display related information on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly and sound a buzzer.

Forward Recognition Camera

Captures images of the area in front of the vehicle and processes them to detect preceding vehicles or pedestrians and sends information to the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor (Airbag sensor assembly)

Detects the yaw rate and acceleration of the vehicle and sends signals to the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

Steering Angle Sensor (Spiral Cable with Sensor Sub-assembly)

Detects the steering angle and direction and sends signals to the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

Vehicle Speed Sensor

Detects the wheel speed and sends signals to the skid control ECU.

Stop Light Switch Assembly

  • Detects the depression of the brake pedal and sends signals to the skid control ECU.
  • Illuminates the stop lights based on the pre-collision braking control operation signal from the skid control ECU.

Steering Pad Switch Assembly

  • Used to turn the pre-collision system on and off.
  • Can be used to change the pre-collision system sensitivity setting.

VSC OFF Switch (Electric Parking Brake Switch Assembly)

Disables the pre-collision brake assist control and pre-collision brake control if pressed and held.

Skid Control ECU (Brake Actuator Assembly)

  • Performs pre-collision brake control based on brake request signals from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.
  • Sends wheel speed signals to the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.
  • Detects the brake request signal and sends a signal to the Stop light switch assembly.

Combination Meter Assembly

  • Displays the pre-collision system control status (ON/OFF) and warning timing.
  • During a system malfunction, warns the driver by displaying a message in the multiinformation display according to the nature of the problem in the system, illuminating the PCS warning light and sounding the pre-collision buzzer.

Pre-collision City Buzzer

Sounds to warn the driver when the pre-collision alarm control is operated.

OUTLINE OF PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM

(a) PRE-COLLISION ALARM:

(1) When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the multi-information display to urge the driver to take evasive action.

(b) PRE-COLLISION BRAKE ASSIST:

(1) When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.

(c) PRE-COLLISION BRAKE:

(1) When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision or reduce the collision speed.

HINT:

  • The vehicle may creep after the pre-collision brake function has operated, the driver should depress the brake pedal as necessary.
  • If the accelerator pedal is being depressed strongly or the steering wheel is being turned, the system may determine that the driver is taking evasive action and possibly prevent the pre-collision brake function from operating.

Conditions under which the system may operate even if there is no possibility of a collision

(a) In some situations such as the following, the system may determine that there is a possibility of a frontal collision and operate.

  • When passing a vehicle or pedestrian
  • When changing lanes while overtaking a preceding vehicle
  • When overtaking a preceding vehicle that is changing lanes
  • When overtaking a preceding vehicle that is making a left/right turn
  • When passing a vehicle in an oncoming lane that is stopped to make a right/left turn
  • When driving on a road where relative location to vehicle ahead in an adjacent lane may change, such as on a winding road
  • When a preceding vehicle suddenly decelerates
  • If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered, such as when the road surface is uneven or undulating
  • When approaching objects on the roadside, such as guardrails, utility poles, trees, or walls
  • When there is a vehicle, pedestrian, or object by the roadside at the entrance of a curve

(a) The pre-collision system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfunction in the system.

(b) In the following situations, the warning light will turn off, the message will disappear and the system will become operational when normal operating conditions return:

  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly or forward recognition camera or the area around either sensor is hot, such as in the sun
  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly or forward recognition camera or the area around either sensor is cold, such as in an extremely cold environment
  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly or front grille emblem is dirty or covered with snow, etc.
  • If the forward recognition camera is obstructed, such as when the hood is open or a sticker is attached to the windshield near the forward recognition camera
