- Millimeter wave radar aiming incomplete: DTC 107
- Millimeter wave radar aiming error: DTC 63
- Millimeter wave radar or front radar cover surface is contaminated with dust, dirt, ice, or snow: DTC 105
Incomplete aiming will also cause the MID to indicate certain temporary DTCs, refer to the DTCS (IF THE AIMING IS INCOMPLETE) .
