Title: CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: P163181; Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received; 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]

DTC

P163181

Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received

DESCRIPTION

The ECM sends signals such as dynamic radar cruise control operation signals, brake operation demand signals, and buzzer operation demand signals to the skid control ECU when the dynamic radar cruise control is in operation. The ECM is the only component that has a function to record and output the DTCs in the dynamic radar cruise control system. Therefore, if the skid control ECU detects a communication error from the ECM, it sends a malfunction signal back to the ECM.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

MIL

P163181

While the dynamic radar cruise control is either preparing for operation or operating, if the ECM continuously receives a logical error signal from the skid control ECU for a certain amount of time, the ECM records this logical error code

  • Communication circuit
  • ECM
  • Brake actuator assembly (Skid control ECU)

Does not come on

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC (CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM)

(a) Check for DTCs (See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; NETWORKING: CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM: DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).

NG

GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

OK

2.

REPLACE ECM

(a) Replace the ECM (See page 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]; 2GR-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): ECM: REMOVAL ).

NEXT

3.

CHECK DTC (RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM)

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(b) Perform the following to make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

HINT:

If the detection conditions are not met, the malfunction cannot be detected.

(1) Drive the vehicle at a speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) or more.

(2) Turn the cruise control main switch on.

(c) Check for DTCs (See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).
