DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM(for 2GR-FKS), Diagnostic DTC:P163181

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

DESCRIPTION

The ECM sends signals such as dynamic radar cruise control operation signals, brake operation demand signals, and buzzer operation demand signals to the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) when the dynamic radar cruise control is operating. Therefore, if the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) detects a communication error with the ECM, it sends a malfunction signal back to the ECM.

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 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the ECM continuously receives a logic error signal from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) for approximately 1 second or more.

  • CAN communication circuit

  • ECM

  • Skid control ECU (brake actuator 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.
