Hazard

The door opening/closing control program is inappropriate. Under the following conditions, the safety mechanism that prevents passengers from being caught in the door during boarding/alighting fails to operate, and the door closes even though a passenger is blocking the sensor (photoelectric switch) installed near the door. Conditions: (1) A passenger is blocking the sensor while the driver operates to close the boarding/alighting door (a buzzer sounds to warn of door closure); (2) The passenger then moves to a position where they are no longer blocking the sensor (buzzer stops); (3) After this, between the signal to close the door and when the door begins its closing operation, the passenger blocks the sensor again (at which point the door closes).

①乗降扉の開閉制御プログラムが不適切なため、以下の条件に当てはまる場合には、乗客が扉近傍に設置された検知器(光電管)を遮っているにも関わらず、乗降中の乗客が扉に挟まれることを防止する機構が働かず扉が閉まる。 ・乗客が検知器(光電管)を遮っている状態で、運転者が乗降扉を閉  じる操作を行う(扉の閉動作を予告するブザーが鳴る) ・次に、乗客が検知器を遮らない位置に移動する(ブザーが鳴り終  わる) ・その後、扉を閉める信号が出てから扉が閉まる動作を開始するまで  の間において、乗客が検知器を遮る(このとき扉が閉まってしまう )

Remedy

Replace the relevant ECU with a corrective unit on all vehicles. Additionally, inspect the position of the closer switch and adjust the position if found to be inappropriate.
