DTC C1A0C: Object Recognition Camera Region Code Mismatch: Description
When the object recognition ECU is replaced with a new one, it acquires the country specification information from the driving support ECU assembly. Also, when the driving support ECU assembly is replaced with a new one, it receives country specification information from the combination meter assembly. When country specification information in the object recognition ECU and driver monitor ECU do not match, DTC C1A0C is output.
If the sensor and vehicle country specification information are the same, and the combination meter assembly and the driving support ECU assembly country specification information are different, C1A0A is output.
| DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| C1A0C | While initial check is running, engine switch is on (IG) and pre-collision system is operating, country specification information in driving support ECU assembly and object recognition ECU do not match for 1 sec. |
