Description and operation
• |
PDW consists of 8 sensors (front : 4 units, rear : 4 units) that are
used to detect obstacles and transmit the result in three separate warning
levels, the first, second and third to IBU via LIN communication.
|
• |
IBU decides the alarm level by the transmitted communication message
from the slave sensors, then operates the buzzer or transmits the data for
display.

System Operation Specification
1. |
System initializing time
– |
PDW-F : IGN1+ initial D Gear + below 15 Km/h
|
– |
PDW-R : IGN1+ initial R Gear
|
|
2. |
PDW recognizes LID and sets the sensor ID up during initialization.
|
3. |
PDW activates each sensor and then executes the diagnosis after finishing
initialization of IPM(IBU).
|
4. |
PDW starting buzzer is normally worked, when sensor does not send an
error message and after finishing error diagnosis.
|
5. |
If any failure is received from the any sensors, PDW starting buzzer
does not work but the failure alarm is operated for a moment.
If you have display option, warning sign is also displayed.
Buzzer for sensor failure is operated once, but display is shown
continuously until it is repaired.
|
|
6. |
IBU memorizes the completed initializing status of sensor.
|
1. |
PDW-F : Lin communication starts and keeps the routine after IGN1 ON+D
gear + below 15 km/h.
PDW-R : Lin communication starts and keeps the routine after IGN1 ON+R
gear
|
2. |
After initializing, the routine starts at once without PDW starting warning
sound.
|
3. |
The obstacle alarm has 3 levels in 1, 2 and 3 step levels; alarms 1 and
2 have intermittent audible sounds, while alarm 3 has continuous audible
sound. For the front ultrasonic sensor level 1 alarm does not exist.
|
4. |
In display, the data of each sensor is sent from IBU to display, for
example cluster.
|
5. |
The efficient vehicle speed of PDW operation is under 10Km/h.
|
6. |
Operation doesn't start or stop in N or P gears.
