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

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for 2tr-fe) / Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch (C1A0A)

DESCRIPTION

When the destination information in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly and forward recognition camera do not match, DTC C1A0A is stored.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL
C1A0A	Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch	When the ignition switch is ON and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the destination information in the forward recognition camera and millimeter wave radar sensor assembly do not match for approximately 1.3 seconds or more.	Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly Forward recognition camera	Does not come on

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Check that the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has not been replaced with one from another vehicle.
When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one. If a device 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, and 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.

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 Learning.
