Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Check for open circuit
- For an open circuit in the wire harness in fig. 1, Check the resistance or voltage, as described below.
- Check the resistance.
- Disconnect connectors a and c, and measure the resistance between them.
Standard resistance (fig. 2)
Hint:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
If the results match the examples above, an open circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Disconnect connector b and measure the resistance between the connectors.
Standard resistance (fig. 3)
If the results match the examples
above, an
open circuit exists between terminal 1 of
connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Check the voltage.
- In a circuit in which voltage is applied to the ecu
connector terminal, an open circuit can be
checked by conducting a voltage check.
With each connector still connected, measure the voltage between the body ground and these terminals (in this order): 1) terminal 1 of connector a, 2) terminal 1 of connector b, and 3) terminal 1 of connector c.
Standard voltage (fig. 4)
If the results match the examples
above, an
open circuit exists in the wire harness between
terminal 1 of connector b and terminal 1 of
connector c.
Basic inspection
When measuring resistance of
electronic parts
Unless otherwise stated, all resistance
measurements should be made at an ambient
temperature of 20°c (68°f). Resistance
measurements may ...
Check for short circuit
If the wire harness is ground shorted (fig. 5), Locate
the section by conducting a resistance check with
the body ground (below).
Check the resistance with the body ground.

System voltage
Description
The battery supplies electricity to the ecm even when the ignition switch is
in the off position. This
power allows the ecm to store data such as dtc history, freeze frame data and
fuel trim values. If the
battery voltage falls below a minimum level, the memory is cleared and ...
Inspection
Inspect water pump assembly
Visually check the drain hole for coolant leakage.
If leakage is found, replace the water pump
assembly.
Turn the pulley, and then check that the water pump
bearing moves smoothly without making a "click"
noise.
If it does not move s ...
Ecm communication circuit malfunction
Description
The circuit is used to send trc and vsc control information from the skid
control ecu to the ecm, and
engine control information from the ecm to the skid control ecu.
Inspection procedure
Hint:
Check that the part numbers of the installed ecm and skid control ecu are
cor ...
