PRE-CRASH SAFETY SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1A4A

DTC Code DTC Name
C1A4A Skid Control Buzzer Circuit

DESCRIPTION

Based on pre-crash control, the driving support ECU communicates to the driver to be careful. The driving support ECU performs this by sending a sounding signal to the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU) to sound the skid control buzzer.

When the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU) detects a malfunction in the VSC warning buzzer circuit, a malfunction signal is sent to the driving support ECU, and this DTC is stored. Although the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU) sends a malfunction signal to the driving support ECU, the vehicle stability control system does not store a relevant malfunction detection DTC.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1A4A When the power switch is on (IG), a skid control buzzer circuit malfunction signal is received from the brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU).

  • Skid control buzzer

  • Skid control buzzer circuit

  • Brake booster with master cylinder (skid control ECU)
