Standard Tape Measure (5 m/25 ft) 1
Material
String 10 m (33 ft) minimum
Sharp–pointed Weight 1
Black Cloth (as needed)

Adjustment
Procedure HINT:
S Since the laser sensor is installed in the bumper reinforcement, it is important that
the laser sensor, bumper reinforcement, etc., are installed properly.
S The sensor and bracket are a matched set and must be replaced as an assembly.
If the sensor is removed from the matched bracket, the adjustment may be affected.
S Please ensure that the battery is disconnected prior to laser radar sensor disconnect.

NOTE:
About 9 m (29.5 ft)
S Perform measurement indoors on
level ground and in front of a blank
wall. Park the vehicle at least 9 m About
3m
(29.5 ft) from the wall. When (10 ft)
performing adjustment outdoors,
make sure that it is NOT raining
or snowing.
Secure Distance of About 9 m (29.5 ft)
S Check that there are no reflective
materials in the surroundings or on
the ground. If you cannot secure a About 7 m (23 ft)
distance of about 9 m (29.5 ft) in front
of the vehicle, be sure to secure at
About
least 7 m (23 ft) from the vehicle and [A] 3m
cover the area marked [A] with a black (10 ft)
cloth. If NOT covered with a black
cloth, the laser sensor may detect
something other than the target and it
will fail to adjust properly.

Adjustment 1. Preparation for Adjusting the Laser Beam Axis:

Procedure
(Continued) A. Adjust the tire pressure properly.
S Refer to the tire pressure information label located in the door jamb for proper
tire inflation or refer to the Owner’s Manual.
B. Luggage in the vehicle, such as in the trunk, should be unloaded.
C. Clean the light–luminous and light–receiving portions of the laser sensor.
D. Prepare a 10 m (33 ft) string, a string with a sharp–pointed weight, and a 5 m
(25 ft standard) tape measure.

2. Reflector (SST) Placement: Figure 1

A. Measure the height to the center
of the laser luminous portion, as
shown in the illustration.

X mm ( in.)

B. Adjust the center height of the

Figure 2
reflector 48 mm (1-7/8 in.) higher
than the measurement taken for
the center of the luminous portion SST P/N 09870–60000
of the laser sensor. Reflector

S SST P/N: 09870–60000

NOTE: Y mm ( in.)

Adjust the height as precisely

as possible.

Y = X mm ( in.) + 48 mm (1-7/8 in.)

Adjustment C. From the center of the front and rear bumpers, hang down the sharp–pointed
Procedure weight and mark the center points of the vehicle on the ground (both front
(Continued) and rear).
D. Fix one end of the string to the rear center mark and adjust the other end so that
the string will line up with the front center mark of the vehicle. Make a mark 5 m
(16.5 ft) from the front of the vehicle where the string and the front vehicle center
mark intersect.

NOTE: DIVERGENCE DATA
The default reading is “6.3” when the *1 *3
reflector is out of range. UPPER/LOWER SIDE: 0.5 DEG

and the “LEFT/RIGHT SIDE” *1: Either UPPER or LOWER is indicated.
values are changing. *2: Either LEFT or RIGHT is indicated.
*3: Value between 0.0 and 6.3 is indicated.
NOTE:
When the angle values do NOT change:
S It is possible that the direction of the
laser radar sensor is greatly off target
and that the laser radar sensor is
aiming at something different.
S Check the installation condition of
the laser radar sensor and bumper
reinforcement. Frontal damage to the
vehicle may affect the aiming of
the sensor.
S Move the reflector closer to the
vehicle and from left to right until the
angle values begin to fluctuate. Note
the position in which the angle values
began to fluctuate and recheck the
installation of the laser radar sensor.

H. Return the reflector to the Figure 8

previously measured position and
read the current angle. The angle
LASER CRUISE
values should be within the DIVERGENCE DATA
standard values listed below.
UPPER SIDE: 0.0 DEG
LOWER
Standard Values for Divergence: LEFT SIDE: 0.0 DEG
RIGHT

UPPER/LOWER SIDE Below 2 degrees

RIGHT/LEFT SIDE Below 4 degrees PRESS [ENTER]

NOTE:
If any value is out of the range,
check the installation condition of
the bumper reinforcement, laser
sensor bracket, etc., as it cannot be
adjusted automatically.

instrument panel lights) while the
“LASER CRUISE DIVERGENCE
DATA” screen is still shown on the
Diagnostic Tester. (Beam axis
adjustment will be performed
automatically.)
J. When the adjustment is
(Avalon Shown for EXAMPLE ONLY)
completed, the “UPPER/LOWER
SIDE” and “RIGHT/LEFT SIDE”
indicators show “0°” and the
system beeps for 10 seconds.
During this time, “UPPER” and
“LOWER” flash alternately on the
screen and “LEFT” and “RIGHT”
flash alternately on the screen.

NOTE:
If the angle indicators do NOT show
“0°” and the system beep is NOT
heard, verify that the current
divergence angles are within the
Standard Values for Divergence listed
in the table in step 4H. If value is out of
range, go to step 1 and repeat the
adjustment procedure.
