Title: PRE-COLLISION: PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM (for HV Model): C1A0A; Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch; 2019 - 2021 MY Avalon HV [04/2018 - 08/2021]

DTC

C1A0A

Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch

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.

DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A0A	Front Radar Sensor Region Code Mismatch	When the power switch is on (IG), the country specification information in the driving support ECU assembly and millimeter wave radar sensor assembly do not match for approximately 2 seconds.

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.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTCs

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Body Electrical > Pre-Collision 2 > Clear DTCs

(b) Make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

HINT:

If the detection conditions are not met, the system cannot detect the malfunction.

Body Electrical > Pre-Collision 2 > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
DTC C1A0A is not output	A
DTC C1A0A is output	B

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

2.	REPLACE DRIVING SUPPORT ECU ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the driving support ECU assembly.

3.	CHECK FOR DTCs

(a) Clear the DTCs.

Body Electrical > Pre-Collision 2 > Clear DTCs

(b) Make sure that the DTC detection conditions are met.

HINT:

If the detection conditions are not met, the system cannot detect the malfunction.

Body Electrical > Pre-Collision 2 > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
DTC C1A0A is not output	A
DTC C1A0A is output	B

END (DRIVING SUPPORT ECU ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE)
