Low Frequency Initiator
The LFI is located at each vehicle wheel house(F/L, F/R, R/R). An LFI unit is mounted in each wheel well of a vehicle to enable the Receiver unit to determine the vehicle position of each WE for which it has a stored ID code. Using a LIN communition line to each LFI, the Receiver can activate an LFI to send out an LF message and trigger the WE sensor near its location to respond with an RF transmission. By activating the LFI units one at a time, the Receiver can automatically locate the vehicle position of each WE. For fault detection, the LFI will report back its “operating properly” status to the Receiver via the LIN communition line.
This DTC indicates that LF signal generation is stopped when IF antenna ON, LF signal isn't stopped when LF antenna OFF. The most likely cause is LFI module failure.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible cause |
DTC strategy | ● Check pulse | ● Faulty RL LFI module |
Enable conditions | ● IGN ON ● When communication over LIN between ECU and LFI is error free. | |
Threshold value | ● LFI respond with LF signal not generated and localization on position failed. ● LFI respond with LF signal not stopped and localization on position failed. | |
Mil On conditon | ● Active DTC is set |
