Lexus ES: Communication Error from VSC to ECM Invalid Serial Data Received (P163081)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) sends signals such as brake request signals to the ECM. If an abnormal signal is detected, the ECM stores DTC P163081.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | DTC Output from |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P163081 | Communication Error from VSC to ECM Invalid Serial Data Received | When the dynamic radar cruise control system is operating, the ECM detects abnormal data sent from the skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) for approximately 1 second or more. |
| Does not come on | Engine |
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
Before replacing the ECM, refer to Registration.
