Inspection (With KDS/GDS)
| 1. |
In the body electrical system, failure can be quickly diagnosed by using
the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS/GDS).
The diagnostic system (KDS/GDS) provides the following information.
| (1) |
Self diagnosis : Checks failure and code number (DTC)
|
| (2) |
Current data : Checks the system input/output data state
|
| (3) |
Actuation test : Checks the system operating condition
|
| (4) |
Additional function : Controls other features including system
option setting and zero point adjustment
|
|
| 2. |
Select the 'Car model' and the 'Telematics System' to be checked in
order to check the vehicle with the tester.
|
| 3. |
Select the 'Current Data' menu to check the current state of the input/output
data.
|
eCall Test Mode
Press the SOS TEST button to activate the audio guidance and test the eCall
system according to the guidance.
In the Test Call stage, which is the last stage of the test mode, press the
SOS button according to the audio guidance to send the data on faulty components
to the call center.
To stop the test mode, press the SOS TEST button again during the audio guidance.

Call Back mode : The eCall system enters the Call Back mode
after a successful call and is in standby for 120 minutes to
receive calls from the call center.
|
| (3) |
The test mode automatically ends when the vehicle speed is 1
km/h or above or has moved 300 m or more.

of Backup battery is low to make emergency call",
retry test mode after sufficiently charging
the battery by driving.
|
|
|
| (5) |
Test call (Pressing the SOS button sends the test result to
a PSAP.)
|
|
|
The red LED stays turned on if one or more DTCs for the eCall system
are issued.
If the red LED is on, be sure to use the diagnostic tool (KDS/GDS) to
check for any failure.
|
Inspecting Back-up Battery
Back-up battery (BUB) embedded in the eCall system has a finite lifespan and
its charging/discharging performance may be diminished after an extensive use.
The back-up battery guarantees the operation of the eCall system when the vehicle
battery cannot be used due to an accident. Be sure to inspect the back-up battery
if the red LED turns on and replace it if necessary.
|
Warranty on Back-up Battery is 3 years.
Inspect the back-up battery every three years and replace it if necessary.
(Refer to Emergency Call Unit - "Repair Procedures")
|
|
The eCall system is aimed to place an urgent call to the call center
during an emergency. Arbitrarily removing or operating the system components
may affect the safety of people and may result in false notification
of an accident to the emergency call center.
