How to Troubleshoot the Road Departure Mitigation
RDM Indicator (Amber)
When the RDM system detects a problem during operation, the RDM system stops operating, and the RDM indicator and the brake system indicator (amber) turns on. NOTE:
Self-Diagnostic Function
The RDM system has a self-diagnostic function. If the self-diagnostic function detects a malfunction, the RDM system stops operating, turns on the RDM indicator, and stores DTCs. RDM Switch
Press and hold the RDM switch for at least 1 second to turn the RDM system off and on. Millimeter Wave Radar
The millimeter wave radar measures the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle directly ahead to calculate the difference in speed between the vehicles. 2/4-door: The millimeter wave radar also has an error detection function which sends a signal to the multipurpose camera unit if an error is detected. 5-door: The millimeter wave radar has a self-diagnostic function. If the system detects a problem, it disables the RDM system, and turns on the RDM indicator. Dirt or dust detective function (Clean Millimeter Wave Radar Indication)
If the millimeter wave radar or radar cover gets dirty, the RDM system stops operating and the following message will appear: Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Radar Obstructed appears on the MID. Clean the millimeter wave radar and the radar cover surface. Once the millimeter wave radar and radar cover surface are clean, the message on the MID disappears and the RDM system automatically turns on. NOTE:
Millimeter Wave Radar Aiming
If the millimeter wave radar is removed or replaced, you must do the millimeter wave radar aiming procedure, otherwise the RDM system indicator blinks. Multipurpose Camera Unit
The multipurpose camera unit uses input from the EPS motor/control unit, the SRS unit, the PCM, and the VSA modulator-control unit to warn the driver when approaching the vehicle ahead. The multipurpose camera unit communicates with the gauge control module to send the warning signal. The multipurpose camera unit also has an error detection function which sends a signal to the millimeter wave radar if an error is detected. Dirt or dust detective function (CLEAN FRONT WINDSHIELD Indication)
If the following message appears: Some Driver Assist System Cannot Operate: Clean Front Windshield appears on the MID, the camera lens or the windshield has enough dirt so that the camera view is obstructed, the RDM system stops operating. Clean any dirt or contamination on the camera lens or the windshield. Once the camera's view is unobstructed, the MID turns off and the RDM system automatically turns back to ON. System Protect Function (High temperature) (MULTIPURPOSE CAMERA HOT Indication)
If the message Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate: Camera Temperature Too High appears on the MID, the RDM system stops operating. 2/4-door: When the multipurpose camera temperature cools down to its proper operating temperature, the indicator on the MID turns off, and the RDM system automatically resumes operation. 5-door: When the multipurpose camera temperature cools down to its proper operating temperature, the indicator on the MID turns off, and the RDM system automatically resumes operation, and stores a DTC. Multipurpose Camera Aiming Function
If the multipurpose camera unit is removed or replaced, you must do the multipurpose camera aiming procedure. If the aiming is incomplete, the RDM indicator blinks. CAN Communications
The RDM system communicates with other control units via the F-CAN. For RDM system diagram, review the RDM System Diagram. If the multipurpose camera unit detects a communication error or a malfunction in another connected unit, the RDM system will not operate even though it is OK. In this case, both RDM indicator and related unit indicator will come on and stay on. Intermittent Failures
The term ''intermittent failure'' means a system may have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If you cannot reproduce the condition, check for intermittent failure DTCs. If intermittent failure DTCs are not stored, check for loose connections and terminals. Also check ground and power connections related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting. How to Troubleshoot DTCs
Check the DTCs with the HDS. NOTE: For RDM system DTCs, refer to the DTC troubleshooting index. Before troubleshooting, check and note these items:
How to Retrieve DTCs
NOTE: Make sure the 12 volt battery is fully charged before you begin.
How to Clear DTCs
NOTE: Make sure the 12 volt battery is fully charged before you begin.
