Lexus ES: Communication Error from ECM to VSC Invalid Serial Data Received (P163181)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) sends signals such as brake request signals to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. When the hybrid vehicle control ECU detects logic error signals sent from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) for a certain period of time, DTC P163181 is stored.
