Cruise Main Indicator Light Circuit: Description

2007 Lexus ES 350SECTION Description

When the cruise control main switch is on, the CRUISE main indicator light and RADAR READY indicator come on. This indicates the control condition (presence or absence of a vehicle in front, vehicle-to-vehicle distance, and set vehicle speed) and fail-safe state through the CAN communication system. The master warning light and CRUISE main indicator light come on and vehicle-to-vehicle distance information is displayed on the combination meter as the alarm buzzer sounds. Items such as "Clean Radar Sensor", "Cruise not Available", "Check Cruise System", and "Radar Ready" are displayed on the multi-information display on the combination meter when the ECM detects signals from each sensor and actuator and sends them to the combination meter via the CAN communication system.

HINT:

If the vehicle in front in the same lane significantly decreases vehicle speed or another vehicle moves in front of your vehicle, adequate deceleration cannot be applied and the vehicle-to-vehicle distance will shorten. At this time, the system sounds the buzzer and the master warning light blinks to warn the driver. Each indicator in the dynamic radar cruise control uses CAN for communication. Therefore, if there are any malfunctions in this circuit, check for DTCs in the CAN communication system before troubleshooting this circuit.
