      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      HV Equipped Information Vehicle information (engine) stored by forward recognition camera Non-HV or HV Non-HV: Gasoline Model
      HV: HV Model
      -

      Chassis > Front Recognition Camera > Data List 

      Tester Display
      HV Equipped Information

      HINT: 

      • When the specification stored by the forward recognition camera and the vehicle specification do not match, there is a malfunction in the specification information stored by the forward recognition camera. Therefore, replace the forward recognition camera.
      • When the specification stored by the forward recognition camera and the vehicle specification match, a hybrid vehicle control ECU with different specifications may be installed. Therefore, replace the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Specification stored by the forward recognition camera and vehicle specification do not match A
      Specification stored by the forward recognition camera and vehicle specification match B

    Result: 

    REPLACE FORWARD RECOGNITION CAMERA. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2018 - 12/2021] 

    Result: 

    REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2018 - 02/2019]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [02/2019 - 10/2019]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [10/2019 - 08/2020]
