DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P163181

DTC Code DTC Name
P163181 Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received

DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends signals such as A/T information signals, dynamic radar cruise control operation signals, brake operation demand signals, and buzzer operation demand signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) when the dynamic radar cruise control is operating. Therefore, if the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) detects a communication error with the hybrid vehicle control ECU, it sends a malfunction signal back to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P163181 Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received While the vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the hybrid vehicle control ECU continuously receives a logical error signal from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) for approximately 1 second or more.

  • CAN communication circuit

  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU

  • Skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly)

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • Before replacing the hybrid vehicle control ECU, refer to Service Bulletin.

  • First check the CAN communication system by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. After checking that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system, proceed with troubleshooting.
