doc F00956-ATX-12884994 Many engineers trying to diagnose inrush current causes voltage drop, vehicle behavior

This is Koji Kato of 11G.

In regard to NV [Noise and Vibration],
at the moment there is no function change for the function of concern. In the future, I will ask about the 250L status and check it carefully.

Strange phenomenon may also happen when an inrush current causes a voltage drop at a time when the engine has a large load (A/C ON & PS ON, etc.).
Actually,
abnormal phenomena also seem to be happening in the 250L during sudden steering (EPS) and when the ABS operates. Additionally, the large variations of electrical load in the new 250L V8s seem to be causing problems of large idling vibrations.

We don’t understand the condition that well, so the phenomenon and the conditions of its occurrence should firstly be clarified by 15G.

functional items are fine, but the conditions at the time are important.

another death in a mangled Toyota after a sudden acceleration

code in Toyota TCM makes your eyes spin

NO RATINGS
Trucks do have rear crash barriers but not side barriers although I have seen more and more trailers with side airfoils intended to reduce aerodynamic drag - reinforcing these as crash barriers would be a no-brainer.  On the other hand, no matter what kind of barrier you have a 65 mph impact is likely to be lethal or at least result in serious injury to the front seat occupants.

I appreciate the endorsement of certification of automitive software.  Carmakers and others will carry on about gov't interference but if you had a chance to read some of the code in the Toyota TCM it would make your eyes spin - sphagetti code doesn't even begin to describe it.  I wrote better code (I think) back in 1978 when we were using punch cards.


There are lots of excellent software engineers and managers who know how to get them to produce excellent code - all it takes is for the auto industry to get smart and hire them.
