| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P1615 | Communication Error from Distance Control ECU to Engine ECU |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM (engine control unit) communicates with the driving support ECU through the Controller Area Network (CAN).
If there is a problem with this communication, the ECM stores a DTC.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| P1615 | Communication malfunction (1 trip detection logic) |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P1615)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
