Summary
SSPD1 - 2024 CX-90 (All) - Side Radar Smart Brake Concern: On certain CX-90 vehicles, while driving near any objects with high reflection intensity (such as guardrail, oncoming vehicle etc.), the Front Cross Traffic Alert (FCTA) may often operate falsely, and in rare cases, the Smart Braking System (SBS) may unintendedly activate if certain conditions are met, causing an unexpected warning. The repair will be reprogramming side radar sensor software with the M-MDS, using MDARS. There are 8,041 vehicles in the campaign.

Section B : Repair Procedure Recall 6223J
Service caution during reprogramming for ECU(s)
During reprogramming, connect battery charger to the
vehicle to stabilize voltage fluctuation. If missing, it may
cause damage to ECUs due to decreasing voltage.
7th generation vehicle will control to turn on headlight forcibly during
reprogramming due to change CAN communication. Please use the
“Reflash” setting in the charger, which will keep the voltage stable.
NOTE:
1. Make sure that HV charging cable is not connected to HV battery charging port.
2. Recall 6223J applies to vehicles with a Rear View (one camera) or a 360 Degree Camera
(four cameras) with a VMC – View Monitor Control Module - NOT VCM!
Vehicle Identification
Connect MDARS with the DLC cable and VCM-Ⅱ to the vehicle, then set the ignition to the ON
position.
CAUTION: DO NOT UDPATE THE VCM – Vehicle Control Module. Connect the DLC cable and
the VCM-Ⅱ to the vehicle with the ignition OFF. The CAN bus line might detect some noise and it
might cause a diagnostic error when connecting the DLC cable with the ignition ON.
