Title: CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC LASER CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 Sequoia)

Laser Sensor Power Source Circuit

DESCRIPTION

This circuit provides power to the laser radar sensor. The laser radar sensor emits radio waves towards an object in front and measures the distance and direction of the object by receiving the beam reflections. Based on the reflections, the sensor calculates the difference in speed between the vehicle and the object in front. This data is transmitted to the distance control ECU. The ECM recognizes the laser radar sensor via terminals LGND. If an open circuit occurs in the wire harness between terminals LGND, the ECM cannot recognize the laser radar sensor. The ECM will stop the control of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode and only the constant speed control mode can be used.
