DESCRIPTION
The driving support ECU assembly and ECM always communicate the data for vehicle general control and diagnosis function to each other via a communication line.
The driving support ECU assembly sends a control demand signal to the ECM.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |

The cruise control system uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the cruise control system after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
PROCEDURE
REPLACE DRIVING SUPPORT ECU ASSEMBLY
Replace the driving support ECU assembly.
Note
When replacing the driving support ECU assembly, always replace it with a new one.
