Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Caution / Notice / Hint
- Before replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to Registration.
for HV Model: Refer to REGISTRATION [11/2023 - ]
for Gasoline Model: Refer to REGISTRATION [11/2023 - ]
- When replacing the forward recognition camera, always replace it with a new one. If a forward recognition camera which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the forward recognition camera will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
- When the forward recognition camera is replaced with a new one or the windshield glass is replaced or removed/installed, make sure to read Before Starting Adjustment, then perform optical axis alignment for the forward recognition camera and clear the vehicle control history for each system.
HINT:
Forward recognition camera axis alignment can be performed by using either One Time Recognition, Sequential Recognition or Driving Adjustment.
One Time Recognition: Refer to TARGET ADJUSTMENT (ONE TIME RECOGNITION) [09/2020 - ]
Sequential Recognition: Refer to TARGET ADJUSTMENT (SEQUENTIAL RECOGNITION) [09/2020 - ]
Driving Adjustment: Refer to DRIVING ADJUSTMENT [09/2020 - ]
- When the forward recognition camera is replaced, update the ECU security key.
Refer to UPDATE ECU SECURITY KEY [11/2023 - ]
