Step	Inspection	Results	Action
1	INSPECT VEHICLE CONTROL MODULE (VCM) AND BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) FOR MALFUNCTION • Perform the DTC inspection for the vehicle control module (VCM) and the body control module (BCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is a DTC related to an internal malfunction displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [VEHICLE CONTROL MODULE (E)].) (See DTC TABLE [BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) (E)].)
No	Go to the next step.
2	INSPECT FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR (LH) FOR MALFUNCTION • Perform the DTC inspection for the front side radar sensor (LH). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is a DTC displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR (E)].)
No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR (RH) FOR MALFUNCTION • Perform the DTC inspection for the front side radar sensor (RH). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is a DTC displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR (E)].)
No	Go to the next step.
4	VERIFY IF FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR FUNCTION IS STOPPED DUE TO TEMPORARY DECREASE IN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE • Start the engine and move the vehicle to a warm place. • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.) • Perform the DTC inspection for the vehicle control module (VCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is the same Pending DTC present?	Yes	Go to the next step.
No	Explain to the customer that the front side radar sensor function stopped due to a temporary decrease in the internal temperature of the front side radar sensor, and then go to repair completion verification 2.
5	DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION CAUSE IS FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR ON EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure. • Disconnect the front side radar sensor (RH) connector. • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.) • Perform the DTC inspection for the vehicle control module (VCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is the same Pending DTC present?	Yes	Replace the front side radar sensor (LH), then go to the next step. (See FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No	Replace the front side radar sensor (RH) and perform the repair completion verification. (See FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
6	INSPECT FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR (RH) FOR MALFUNCTION DEPENDING ON REPEATABILITY • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure. • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.) • Perform the DTC inspection for the vehicle control module (VCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is the same Pending DTC present?	Yes	Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error. (See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(E)].) If the CAN communication is normal, replace the front side radar sensor (RH) and perform the repair completion verification. (See FRONT SIDE RADAR SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
No	Go to repair completion verification 2.
Repair completion verification 1	VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED • Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure. • Clear the DTC recorded in the memory. (See CLEARING DTC.) • Perform the DTC inspection for the vehicle control module (VCM). (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Is the same Pending DTC present?	Yes	Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error. (See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(E)].) If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the body control module (BCM), then go to the next step. (See BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [(E)].)
No	Go to the next step.
Repair completion verification 2	VERIFY IF OTHER DTC IS DISPLAYED • Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC INSPECTION.) • Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
