Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: Communication Error from VSC to ECM (P1630)

Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for 2tr-fe) / Communication Error from VSC to ECM (P1630)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) sends signals such as cruise control cancel signals and brake demand response signals to the ECM when the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P1630	Communication Error from VSC to ECM	While the vehicle speed is 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, communication data from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) is logically inconsistent for approximately 0.5 seconds or more.	CAN communication circuit Skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) ECM
