DTC P1617 Distance Control ECU Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
In the dynamic laser cruise control system, the ECM and the distance control ECU communicate with one another to control the system based on some designation information. If the designation information of the ECM and distance control ECU is different or the distance control ECU is malfunctioning, this DTC is recorded
|
DTC No |
DTC Detection Condition |
Trouble Area |
|
P1617 |
While the dynamic laser cruise control is either preparing for operation or operating, if a designation signal from the ECM and a designation return signal from the distance control ECU do not match or the distance control ECU is malfunctioning for more than a specific amount of time, the ECM records this trouble code | Distance control ECU |
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE: When the distance control ECU is replaced with a new one, initialization must be performed
1 CONFIRM DESIGNATION INFORMA
