for HV Model: 

  • The forward recognition camera receives vehicle information (Conv/HV) from the hybrid vehicle control ECU via the CAN communication line.
  • When the forward recognition camera is unable to determine the vehicle information (Conv/HV) from the vehicle information (Conv/HV) sent from the hybrid vehicle control ECU, the forward recognition camera outputs U0300-51.
  • When the vehicle information (Conv/HV) sent from the hybrid vehicle control ECU does not match the vehicle information stored by the forward recognition camera, the forward recognition camera outputs U0300-57.

for Gasoline Model: 

  • The forward recognition camera receives vehicle information (Conv/HV) from the ECM via the CAN communication line.
  • When the forward recognition camera is unable to determine the vehicle information (Conv/HV) from the vehicle information (Conv/HV) sent from the ECM, the forward recognition camera outputs U0300-51.
  • When the vehicle information (Conv/HV) sent from the ECM does not match the vehicle information stored by the forward recognition camera, the forward recognition camera outputs U0300-57.
