Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch (C1A0A)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Forward Recognition Camera System / Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch (C1A0A)

DESCRIPTION

The forward recognition camera receives necessary information from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly.

When the forward recognition camera judges that a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which is not compatible with the vehicle has been installed, DTC C1A0A is stored.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A0A	Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch	After the ignition switch is turned to ON for 3 seconds or more, the forward recognition camera detects that a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which is not compatible with the vehicle is installed for 5 seconds or more.	Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly Forward recognition camera

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

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