1.PERFORM BLIND SPOT MONITOR BEAM AXIS CONFIRMATION
The blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation is performed to confirm whether the sensor's beam axis is correct, and perform adjustment of the beam axis by using a reflector.
When performing the blind spot monitor beam axis confirmation, move the vehicle to a place where the space shown in the illustration can be secured.
Perform this inspection on level ground.
Make sure that there are no metal objects around the vehicle or on the ground.
Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.
Do not place any objects other than the reflector (such as a large metallic object) in or allow people to enter the inspection area (W 6 m [19.68 ft.] x L 6 m [19.68 ft.] x H 3 m [9.84 ft.] ) shown in the illustration.

Perform the blind spot monitor beam axis display.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the blind spot monitor system on.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Blind Spot Monitor Master or Blind Spot Monitor Slave / Utility / BSM Master Beam Axis Display or BSM Slave Beam Axis Display.
The slave beam is on the RH side and the master beam is on the LH side.

If the displayed results are outside the permissible range, the following are possible causes. Therefore, implement countermeasures, check the blind spot monitor beam axis and perform the procedure again.
| Possible Causes | Countermeasure |
|---|---|
| Incorrect SST (reflector) position | Check the position of SST (reflector) and checking space and perform the procedure again |
| A metallic object is located in the vicinity of the checking space | Check the position of SST (reflector) and checking space and perform the procedure again |
| The blind spot monitor sensor installation is abnormal | Check the installation condition of the blind spot monitor sensor |

When values on the axis display are in the allowable range, performing this adjustment compensates for any deviation from the normal value.
2.PERFORM BLIND SPOT MONITOR SENSOR INSTALLATION CONDITION INSPECTION
Perform this inspection on level ground.
Unload the vehicle before beginning the inspection.
Confirm that the tire pressure is correct before beginning the inspection.
The blind spot monitor sensor installation condition inspection is performed to confirm whether the sensor is perpendicular to the floor surface (+/-2.2°) by using a digital angle gauge, and that the sensor is 46 to 54° from the line parallel to the vehicle center line.
Remove the rear bumper assembly.
Place the digital angle gauge on a level (gradient within 1%) and perform zero-point adjustment as shown in the illustration.
| *a | (+) | *b | (-) |

| *a | Digital Angle Gauge |
| *b | Blind Spot Monitor Sensor |
| *c | Outward Facing Surface |
Set the digital angle gauge to the outward facing surface of the blind spot monitor sensor as shown in the illustration, and check that the perpendicular angle of the blind spot monitor sensor is within the permissible range.
| *a | (+) |
| *b | (-) |
| *c | Horizontal Line |
| *d | Digital Angle Gauge |
| *e | Outward Facing Surface |
The outward facing surface (installation angle) is positive (+) when it faces higher than horizontal.
| Item | Allowable Range |
|---|---|
| Blind Spot Monitor Sensor RH (Slave) | +87.8 to +92.2° |
| Blind Spot Monitor Sensor LH (Master) | +87.8 to +92.2° |
| *A | Vehicle Rear (LH) |
| *a | Vehicle Front |
| *b | Vehicle Rear |
| *c | Line Parallel to The Vehicle Center Line |
| *d | Stud Bolt |
| *e | Stud Bolt Center Line |
Using the sensor installation stud bolt center lines as a reference, check that the stud bolts are as shown in the illustration.
| Dimension | Specified Value |
|---|---|
| a | 108 mm (4.25 in.) |
| y | 78 to 87 mm
(3.07 to 3.43 in.) |
| Degree | Specified Value |
|---|---|
| A | 46 to 54° |
If the results are not as specified, it is possible that the blind spot monitor sensor installation area (frame, stud bolt) is deformed, so make corrections as necessary.
Install the rear bumper assembly.
