Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch (C1A0A)

DESCRIPTION

The driving support ECU assembly uses the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly to detect objects in front of the vehicle.

Based on signals from the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, the driving support ECU assembly calculates the possibility of a collision and operates the pre-collision system if it determines that the possibility is high.

When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is replaced with a new one, it acquires the country specification information from the driving support ECU assembly. Also, when the driving support ECU assembly is replaced with a new one, it receives country specification information from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU). If country specification information in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, driving support ECU and/or main body ECU do not match, DTC C1A0A will be stored.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

• When replacing the driving support ECU assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a driving support ECU assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the driving support ECU assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
• 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.
