Title: CRUISE CONTROL: DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (for M20A-FKS): P163181; Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received; 2020 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [01/2019 - 09/2022]

DTC

P163181

Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received

DESCRIPTION

The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) sends signals such as brake request signals to the ECM. When the ECM detects logic error signals sent from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) for a certain period of time, DTC P163181 is stored.
