Toyota Avalon Service & Repair Manual: Cruise Control Input Processor (P160700)

DESCRIPTION

The ECM continuously monitors its main and sub CPUs. This self-check ensures that the ECM is functioning properly. If outputs from the CPUs are different and deviate from the standard, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store the DTC.

HINT:

The ECM receives signals from each sensor to control all functions of the dynamic radar cruise control system. When a DTC is detected, the fail-safe function remains on until the engine switch is turned off.

PROCEDURE

(a) Clear the 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.

(c) Check for DTCs.

A

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

B

REPLACE ECM
