VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
SET CHECKING
1. Press the ON/OFF switch for less than 1.5 seconds.
2. Drive the vehicle between 40 km/h (25 MPH) and 144 km/h (89 MPH).
3. Push the COAST/SET switch.
4. Confirm that the desired speed is set as the COAST/SET switch is released.
NOTE:

When there is no vehicle ahead, drive at the set speed steadily.

When there is a vehicle ahead, control to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead, watching its speed.

The set vehicle speed is displayed on the ICC system indicator in the combination meter.
CHECK FOR INCREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed increases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as ACCEL/RES switch is pushed.
NOTE:
The maximum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 144 km/h (89 MPH).
CHECK FOR DECREASE OF THE CRUISING SPEED
1. Set vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode at desired speed.
2. Check if the set speed decreases by 1.6 km/h (1 MPH) as COAST/SET switch is pushed.
NOTE:

Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically turned off when the driving speed lowers to 32
km/h (20 MPH) due to the deceleration of the vehicle ahead.

The minimum set speed of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is 40 km/h (25 MPH).
CHECK FOR THE CANCELLATION OF VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE
(NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION) IN THE FOLLOWING CASES:
1. When the brake pedal is depressed after the system is turned on.
2. When the selector lever is shifted to the "N" (Neutral) position.
3. When the system is turned off.
4. When CANCEL switch is operated.
CHECK FOR RESTORING THE SPEED THAT IS SET BY VEHICLE-TO-VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE BEFORE CANCELLATION
1. Cancel the system by depressing the brake. Then, check that the speed before cancellation is restored
when pressing ACCEL/RES switch with vehicle speed at 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above.
2. Cancel the system by shifting the selector lever to “N”. Then, check if the speed set before the cancella-
tion is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is pressed.
3. Check if the speed previously set is restored when ACCEL/RES switch is operated when driving 40 km/h (25 MPH) or above, after canceling vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode by operating the CANCEL
switch.
CHECK ON/OFF SWITCH OPERATION
1. Start the engine. Then, check that the following operations areperformed correctly.
2. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is displayed when ON/ OFF switch is pressed ON. Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode goes off when ON/OFF switch is turned to OFF.
3. Turn off the ignition switch while ON/OFF switch is ON. Turn the ignition switch back to ON and confirm that CRUISE lamp and
ICC system display are OFF.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEMPFP:00028
IntroductionECS00CE4
The A/T system has two self-diagnostic systems.
The first is the emission-related on board diagnostic system (OBD-II) performed by the TCM in combination
with the ECM. The malfunction is indicated by the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) and is stored as a DTC in
the ECM memory but not the TCM memory.
The second is the TCM original self-diagnosis indicated by the A/T CHECK indicator lamp. The malfunction is
stored in the TCM memory. The detected items are overlapped with OBD-II self-diagnostic items. For detail,
refer to AT- 8 6 , "
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULT MODE" .
OBD-II Function for A/T SystemECS00CE5
The ECM provides emission-related on board diagnostic (OBD-II) functions for the A/T system. One function
is to receive a signal from the TCM used with OBD-related parts of the A/T system. The signal is sent to the
ECM when a malfunction occurs in the corresponding OBD-related part. The other function is to indicate a
diagnostic result by means of the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) on the instrument panel. Sensors, switches
and solenoid valves are used as sensing elements.
The MIL automatically illuminates in One or Two Trip Detection Logic when a malfunction is sensed in relation
to A/T system parts.
One or Two Trip Detection Logic of OBD-IIECS00CE6
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
If a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, the MIL will illuminate and the malfunction will be stored in
the ECM memory as a DTC. The TCM is not provided with such a memory function.
TWO TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is sensed during the first test drive, it is stored in the ECM memory as a 1st trip DTC
(diagnostic trouble code) or 1st trip freeze frame data. At this point, the MIL will not illuminate. — 1st Trip
If the same malfunction as that experienced during the first test drive is sensed during the second test drive,
the MIL will illuminate. — 2nd Trip
The “Trip ” in the “One or Two Trip Detection Logic ” means a driving mode in which self-diagnosis is performed
during vehicle operation.
OBD-II Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)ECS00CE7
HOW TO READ DTC AND 1ST TRIP DTC
DTC and 1st trip DTC can be read by the following methods.
( with CONSULT-II or GST) CONSULT-II or GST (Generic Scan Tool) Examples: P0705, P0720 etc.
These DTC are prescribed by SAE J2012.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)

1st trip DTC No. is the same as DTC No.

Output of the diagnostic trouble code indicates that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. How-
ever, in case of the Mode II and GST, they do not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring
or occurred in the past and returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify them as shown below, therefore, CONSULT-II (if available) is recom-
mended.
A sample of CONSULT-II display for DTC and 1st trip DTC is shown
on the next page. DTC or 1st trip DTC of a malfunction is displayed
in SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS mode for “ENGINE” with CON-
SULT-II. Time data indicates how many times the vehicle was driven
after the last detection of a DTC.
