DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1A11, C1A14

DTC Code DTC Name
C1A11 Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap
C1A14 Front Radar Sensor Beam Axis Not Adjusted

DESCRIPTION

The driving support ECU assembly uses the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly to detect objects in front of the vehicle.

When it is determined that the vehicle is being driven in a straight line or on a gradual curve based on signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly performs self-diagnosis to check if the sensor beam axis has deviated. When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis is misaligned, the driving support ECU assembly stores DTC C1A11.

After installing a new millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, if sensor beam axis adjustment is not performed, DTC C1A14 is stored.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1A11 Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap When the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for approximately 0.3 seconds or more.

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

  • Driving support ECU assembly
C1A14 Front Radar Sensor Beam Axis Not Adjusted When the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, incompletion of the millimeter wave radar sensor beam axis alignment is detected for approximately 0.3 seconds or more.

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

  • Driving support ECU assembly

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the driving support ECU assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one. If a device which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the driving support ECU assembly will not match the information from the vehicle, and as a result, a DTC may be stored.

  • When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.

  • When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is replaced with a new one, adjustment of the radar sensor beam axis must be performed.
