Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: 4Wd control ecu communication stop mode
Description
Hint:
For vehicle with 4wd only.
Wiring diagram
Inspection procedure
Notice:
- Turn the ignition switch off before measuring the resistances of the main wire and the branch wire.
- After the ignition switch is turned off, check that the key reminder warning system and light reminder warning system are not in operation.
- Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle for at least 1 minute and do not operate the ignition switch, any switches or doors. If doors need to be opened in order to check connectors, open the doors and leave them open.
Hint:
Operating the ignition switch, any switches or any doors triggers related ecu and sensor communication with the can, which causes resistance variation.
- Check can bus line for disconnection (4wd control ecu branch wire)
- Disconnect the e57 4wd control ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance
- Check wire harness (4wd control ecu - battery and body ground)
- Disconnect the e57 4wd control ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

Can bus line
Description
When any dtc for the can communication system is output, first measure the
resistance between the
terminals of the dlc3 to specify the trouble area, and check that there is not a
sho ...

If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to p.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide t ...
Air mix damper control servo motor circuit (passenger side)
Description
The air mix damper servo sends pulse signals to indicate the damper position
to the air conditioning
amplifier. The air conditioning amplifier activates the motor (normal or
reverse) based on these signals to
move the air mix damper (passenger seat) to the appropriate position ...
Internal control module random access memory (ram) error
Description
The ecm continuously monitors its own internal memory status, internal
circuits, and output signals
transmitted to the throttle actuator. This self-check ensures that the ecm is
functioning properly. If any
malfunction is detected, the ecm sets the appropriate dtc and illumina ...
