Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Brake System Malfunction (C1A50)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Pre-collision / Pre-collision System / Brake System Malfunction (C1A50)

DESCRIPTION

When the pre-collision system is operating, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly sends brake control signals to the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)*1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*2.

If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly receives a vehicle stability control system malfunction signal from the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)*1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*2 via CAN communication, DTC C1A50 will be stored.

*1: for Hydraulic Brake Booster
*2: for Vacuum Brake Booster

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A50	Brake System Malfunction	While the ignition switch is ON, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly receives a vehicle stability control system malfunction signal from the skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)2 for 1 second or more.	Vehicle stability control system Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

*1: for Hydraulic Brake Booster
*2: for Vacuum Brake Booster

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced, be sure to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment.
