Lexus ES: Communication Error from VSC to ECM Invalid Serial Data Received (P163081)

Lexus ES (XZ10) Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / Cruise Control / Dynamic Radar Cruise Control System (for Gasoline Model) / 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.
