Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Vehicle Information Not Obtained (C1A02)

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for 2tr-fe) / Vehicle Information Not Obtained (C1A02)

DESCRIPTION

When a new millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is installed, it receives vehicle specification information (destination, steering wheel position, 2WD or 4WD, etc.) from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) and stores the information.

DTC C1A02 is stored when the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly cannot store the vehicle specification information from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU).

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A02	Vehicle Information Not Obtained	While the ignition switch is ON and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly cannot store the vehicle specification information for approximately 0.1 seconds or more.	Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly

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.
When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is replaced with a new one, adjustment of the radar sensor beam axis must be performed.
