Visual Inspection and Pre-checks
- Certain Lane Departure Warning concerns can be caused by the IPMA being too cold or overheating due to heavy sunload. Prior to diagnosing a lane keeping system concern, allow the vehicle to warm up or remove the vehicle from direct sunlight. RECHECK after 10 minutes.
- Inspect the Lane Departure Warning settings in the IPC message center to be sure the concern is not caused by a system setting.
- NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector. Use only Rotunda Flex Probes (NUD105-R025D)
- A1 VERIFY THE CONCERN
- Verify the operation of the lane departure warning (lane keeping aid and lane keeping alert).
Does the lane departure warning operate correctly?
