Lexus ES: Communication Error from VSC to ECM Invalid Serial Data Received (P163081)
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) sends signals such as brake request signals to the hybrid vehicle control ECU. If an abnormal signal is detected, the hybrid vehicle control ECU 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 hybrid vehicle control ECU detects abnormal data sent from the skid control ECU (brake booster with master cylinder assembly) for approximately 1 second or more. |
| Does not come on | Hybrid Control |
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
Before replacing the hybrid vehicle control ECU, refer to Registration.
