Title: CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM: C1A11,C1A14; Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap; 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]

DTC

C1A11

Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap

DTC

C1A14

Front Radar Sensor Beam Axis Not Adjusted

DESCRIPTION

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

When it is determined that the vehicle is being driven in a straight line or on a gradual curve based on signals from the yaw rate and acceleration sensor, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly performs self-diagnosis to check if the sensor beam axis has deviated. When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis is misaligned, the driving support ECU assembly stores DTC C1A11.

After installing a new millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, if sensor beam axis adjustment is not performed, DTC C1A14 is stored.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

MIL

C1A11

When the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for approximately 0.3 seconds or more.

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly
  • Driving support ECU assembly

Does not come on

C1A14

When the vehicle is being driven at a speed of 36 km/h (22 mph) or more and the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, incompletion of the millimeter wave radar sensor beam axis alignment is detected for approximately 0.3 seconds or more.

  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly
  • Driving support ECU assembly

Does not come on

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the driving support ECU 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 driving support ECU 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.
