Cruise Control. Dtc C1A11 Front Radar Sensor Incorrect Axial Gap

The forward recognition camera uses the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly to detect obstacles in front of the vehicle.
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 from the vehicle movement direction. When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis has deviated, the forward recognition camera detects this, and stores DTC C1A11.
After installing a new millimeter wave radar sensor assembly, if sensor beam axis adjustment is not performed, DTC C1A14 is stored.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1A11	2 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), misalignment of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is detected for 5 seconds or more.	Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly Forward recognition camera
C1A14	2 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG), incompletion of the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly beam axis alignment is detected for 5 seconds or more.	Millimeter wave radar sensor assembly Forward recognition camera

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

When replacing the forward recognition camera, always replace it with a new one. If a forward recognition camera which was installed to another vehicle is used, the information stored in the forward recognition camera will not match the information from the vehicle. As a result, a DTC may be stored.
If the forward recognition camera has been replaced with a new one, be sure to perform forward recognition camera learning (Click here).
When the millimeter wave radar sensor assembly is replaced with a new one, adjustment of the radar sensor beam axis must be performed (Click here).
First check the CAN communication system by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. After checking that there are no malfunctions in the CAN communication system, proceed with troubleshooting (Click here).
