Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Check for intermittent problems
Hint:
Inspect the vehicle's ecm using check mode. Intermittent problems are easier to detect with the intelligent tester when the ecm is in check mode. In check mode, the ecm uses 1 trip detection logic, which is more sensitive to malfunctions than normal mode (default), which uses 2 trip detection logic.
- Clear the dtcs (see page es-35).
- Switch the ecm from normal mode to check mode using the intelligent tester (see page es-38).
- Perform a simulation test.
- Check and wiggle the harness(es), connector(s) and terminal(s).
How to proceed with troubleshooting
Hint:
*: Use the intelligent tester.
Hint:
If the display indicates a communication fault in the tester,
inspect the dlc3.
Hint:
Record or print dtcs and freeze frame data, if necessary. ...

Fuel pump control circuit
Description
When the engine is cranked, the starter relay drive signal output from the
star terminal of the ecm is
input into the sta terminal of the ecm, and ne signal generated by the
crankshaft position sensor is also
input into the ne+ terminal. Thus, the ecm interprets that the engine is ...
