Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) Removal/Installation

CAUTION:

If configuration is not performed when the FSC is replaced with a new one, the vehicle specification information is not stored in the FSC and the system will not operate normally.
When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the vehicle specification information from the FSC before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the FSC. The vehicle specification information is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.

NOTE:

The FSC prior to replacement stores the vehicle specification information.
A new FSC does not store any vehicle specification information.
If the vehicle specification information from the FSC prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the configuration using As-Built data.

When replacing the FSC, perform the configuration. (See FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) CONFIGURATION (USING READ/WRITE FUNCTION) .)
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the sensor cover.(See SENSOR COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION)
Disconnect the connector.

Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
- If configuration cannot be performed by reading/writing of the vehicle specification information, perform the configuration using As-Built information after replacing the FSC. (See FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) CONFIGURATION (USING AS-BUILT DATA) .)
If the FSC is replaced, perform the FSC aiming (See FORWARD SENSING CAMERA (FSC) AIMING .).
CAUTION:
- If FSC aiming is not performed after replacing the FSC, the related systems controlled by the FSC will not operate because the FSC cannot store the camera shot angle. If the FSC is replaced, perform the FSC aiming.
