C1637 TCS Invalid aBasis - General Information

Component Location





General Description

SCC(Smart Cruise Control) is a system added additional function that can keep distance from the car ahead safely according to speed of the car ahead by using radar sensor to existing conventional ACC(Auto Cruise Control) function. SCC recognizes the closest one among the cars ahead on front line as control target when vehicle goes straight. But in case of the vehicle being in a curved lane, SCC recognizes the closest one within same lane among the cars ahead as control target although that is not on the front line. Target acceleration/deceleration value is determined according to relative speed and distance against target vehicle. ESP ECU calculates vehicle acceleration/deceleration value based on four wheel speed sensor signal. This value is used for calculating relative speed.

DTC Description

SCC ECU sends initial setting value of acceleration to ESP ECU at the start of the control. In case of the value out of range, ESP ECU transmits a message, which represents initial setting value of acceleration out of range, to SCC. SCC sets this code when this message from ESP ECU is received. System recovers to normal condition as soon as the signal is alright again.
