INTELLIGENT CLEARANCE SONAR SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C164B

DTC Code DTC Name
C164B Communication Error From Clearance Sonar ECU to VSC

DESCRIPTION

The electronically controlled brake system receives intelligent clearance sonar system information from the clearance warning ECU assembly via CAN communication. When it is determined that there is a communication error between the skid control ECU and clearance warning ECU assembly, DTC C164B is stored.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C164B Communication Error From Clearance Sonar ECU to VSC A communication error between the skid control ECU and clearance warning ECU assembly is detected

  • Clearance warning ECU assembly

  • Electronically controlled brake system

  • Brake booster with master cylinder assembly

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

  2. CLEAR DTC


    1. Clear the DTCs.


      Body Electrical > IPA/ICS/Clearance Sonar > Clear DTCs
      Result
      Proceed to
      NEXT

      Tech Tips


      • If DTC C164B is not output after clearing the DTCs, an intermittent communication error between the clearance warning ECU assembly and skid control ECU is suspected.

      • If DTC C164B is output frequently, duplicate the conditions that cause the problem symptoms and perform the inspection again, even though the DTC was not output when rechecking for DTCs.
