Toyota Tundra Service Manual: Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap (C1A11)

Toyota Tundra Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Pre-collision / Pre-collision System / Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap (C1A11)

DESCRIPTION

When the vehicle is determined to be driving in a straight line or on a gradual curve based on signals from the yaw rate sensor, etc., the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly performs self diagnosis to check if the sensor beam axis has deviated. If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis has deviated, the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly detects this and stores DTC C1A11.

DTC No.

Trouble Area

C1A11

Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap

When the ignition switch is ON, misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for approximately 1 second or more.
  • Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly
  • Wheel alignment

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When replacing the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, always replace it with a new one. If a millimeter wave radar sensor assembly which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
  • If the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly has been replaced, be sure to perform millimeter wave radar sensor assembly adjustment.
