DTC P1616 Communication Error from ECM to Distance Control ECU: Description

The ECM receives signals from each sensor and ECU, then sends signals such as A/T signals, cruise control operation signals, low speed operation signals, brake control operation signals, and radar light emission prohibiting signals, to the distance control ECU. The ECM is the only component that has a function to record and output the DTCs in the dynamic radar cruise control system Therefore, if the distance control ECU detects a communication error from the ECM, it sends a malfunction signal back to the ECM.
