PRE-CRASH SAFETY 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 obstacles in front of the vehicle.

Based on this information, the driving support ECU assembly sends pre-crash control operation signals.

When the vehicle is determined to be driving in a straight line or on a gradual curve based on signals from the airbag sesor assembly etc., the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly performs self-diagnosis to check if the sensor beam axis has deviated from the vehicle movement direction. When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis has deviated, the driving support ECU assembly detects this, and 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 While the ignition switch is ON, misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for approximately 0.2 seconds.

  • 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 10 km/h (6 mph) or more, misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for approximately 0.2 seconds.

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

  • Driving support ECU assembly

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • 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.

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

  • 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.
