Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Air fuel ratio sensor
Components
On-vehicle inspection
- Check air fuel ratio compensation system
- Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Select the following menu items: data list / a/fs b1 s1 and o2s b1 s2.
- Warm up the a/f sensor with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm for approximately 2 minutes.
- Keep the engine speed at 2,500 rpm and confirm that the display of "a/fs b1 s1" is as shown in the illustration.
Hint:
- The illustration may slightly differ from the display on the intelligent tester.
- Only the intelligent tester displays the waveform of the a/f sensor.
- Confirm that the display of "o2s b1 s2" changes between 0 to 1 v with the engine speed at 2,500 rpm.
Ok: the voltage output oscillates more than 8 times in 10 seconds.
Notice:
- Perform the check immediately after warming the engine up.
- If the voltage variation could not be verified, warm up the a/f sensor again. If it could not be verified even after warming up the sensor again, check for dtcs (see page es-292).
Removal
- Disconnect cable from negative battery terminal
Caution:
Wait at least 90 seconds after disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent airbag and seat belt pretensioner activation.
- Remove air fuel ratio sensor (for bank 1 sensor 1)
- Disconnect the sensor connector.
- Using sst, remove the sensor from the exhaust manifold.

Inspection
- Inspect air fuel ratio sensor (for bank 1 sensor 1)
- Measure the resistance of the sensor.
Standard resistance 
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
Installation
- Install air fuel ratio sensor (for bank 1 sensor 1)
- Using sst, install the sensor to the exhaust manifold.
Sst 09224-00010
Torque: 40 n*m (408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*Lbf) for use with sst
44 N*m (449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*Lbf) for use without sst
Hint:
- Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 In.).
- Make sure sst and wrench are connected in a straight line.
- Connect the sensor connector.
- Connect cable to negative battery terminal
- Check for exhaust gas leaks

Vehicle speed signal error (test mode dtc)
Description
The tire pressure warning ecu receives a speed signal from the combination
meter. This dtc is stored
upon entering test mode, and cleared when a vehicle speed signal of 12 mph (20
km/h) is detected for 3
seconds or more. The dtc is output only in test mode.

Brake switch "B" circuit high
Description
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while
driving in the lock-up condition when
the brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signal to the ecm. Then
the ecm cancels the
operation of the lock-up clutch ...
Air conditioning filter
The air conditioning filter must be changed regularly to maintain
air conditioning efficiency.
Removal method
Vehicles without a smart key system: turn the engine switch to the
“lock” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system: turn the engine switch off.
Open the glove box. Slide ...
