Cruise Control
Pinpoint Test D: DTC C1A67:96
Normal Operation
The adaptive cruise control system is enabled when the vehicle speed is set and the Cruise-Control Module (C-CM), which is a radar sensor unit, determines the distance and relative speed of the vehicle that is in the path of travel. The C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) commands the ABS module over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN), which controls the brakes, to automatically apply the brakes to slow the vehicle to maintain a safe distance to the vehicle ahead.
- DTC C1A67:96 (Forward Looking Sensor: Component Internal Failure)- sets when the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) detects an internal failure or invalid radar data with the radar sensor.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- C-CM (Cruise-Control Module)
PINPOINT TEST D : DTC C1A67:96
D1 CHECK THE DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) SELF-TESTS
- Ignition ON.
- Clear continuous DTCs from all modules.
- Ignition OFF.
- Ignition ON.
- Wait at least 10 seconds.
- Carry out the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) self-test.
- Check the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) DTCs from the continuous and on-demand self-tests.
Is DTC C1A67:96 recorded?
Yes
GO to D2.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to an intermittent fault condition. CHECK the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) connector and the HS-CAN (High Speed Controller Area Network) bus wire for corrosion. CLEAN and REPAIR if corrosion is present. CLEAR the DTCs. TEST the system or normal operation.
D2 CHECK FOR CORRECT C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) OPERATION
- Disconnect the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) connector.
- Check for:
- corrosion
- damaged pins
- pushed-out pins
- Connect the C-CM (Cruise-Control Module) connector and make sure it seats correctly.
- Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes
INSTALL a new C-CM (Cruise-Control Module). REFER to Cruise-Control Module (C-CM) . TEST the system for normal operation.
No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. REPEAT the self-test.
