Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Brake Control Signal Mismatch (C1A69)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Pre-collision / Pre-collision System / Brake Control Signal Mismatch (C1A69)

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (master cylinder solenoid)*1 or skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly)*2 sends signals to the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly according to the brake control status. 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, it will store DTC C1A64.

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

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A69	Brake Control Signal Mismatch	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.
