Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Light Does Not Illuminate While Under Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Light-Illumination Conditions [Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System]: Notes
BSM WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHILE UNDER BSM WARNING LIGHT-ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS (BSM SYSTEM) - POSSIBLE CAUSE
| Description |
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHILE UNDER BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) WARNING LIGHT-ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS |
- The blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning light does not illuminate despite satisfying the conditions to illuminate the blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning light (vehicle speed above 32 km/h {20 mph} or more, turn signals off, and vehicle in warning zone).
|
| Possible Causes |
NOTE:
- Rear bumper problem such defective installation of rear bumper, excessive soiling on the radar emitting/receiving area, sticker adhesion (including transparent types), repairs to rear bumper using putty
- Non-genuine bumper, paint, or installation of after-market parts negatively affecting radar echo-back ability
- The system may not operate normally under the following conditions:
- The rear bumper near the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module has become deformed.
- Snow, ice or mud adheres to the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module on the rear bumper
- Under bad weather conditions such as rain, snow and fog.
- Stationary objects on a road or a road side such as small, two-wheeled vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, animals, and shopping carts.
- Vehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low vehicle height and sports cars.
- Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
- The blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module mistakenly recognizes a vehicle as being outside of the warning zone when it actually inside of it.
- Radar (blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module integrated) is not emitted inside of warning zone (unable to emit radar inside warning zone)
- Damage, deformity or looseness to installation bracket or vehicle frame (including moderate impacts)
- Malfunction in steering angle sensor (instrument cluster or EPS control module malfunction)
- Problem with rear bumper such as soiling to radar emitting/receiving area, application of stickers (including transparent types), repairs using putty application.
- Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module does not receive echo-back correctly
- Blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module (radar) malfunction
- Problem with rear bumper such as soiling to radar emitting/receiving area, application of stickers (including transparent types), repairs using putty application.
- After-market electrical parts interfere with blind spot monitoring (BSM) system
- Malfunction in blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning light related parts
- Open circuit in wiring harness between blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning light and blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module
- Open circuit in wiring harness or poor ground between blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module and ground
- Blind spot monitoring (BSM) warning light malfunction
