Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received (P163181)

Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System(for Hv Model) / Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received (P163181)

DESCRIPTION

The hybrid vehicle control ECU sends signals such as dynamic radar cruise control operation signals, brake operation demand signals and buzzer operation demand signals to the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) when the dynamic radar cruise control is operating. Therefore, if the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) detects a communication error with the hybrid vehicle control ECU, it sends a malfunction signal back to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.

DTC No.
