Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 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 m ...
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.

Precaution
If any of following conditions are met,
keep engine idling with a/c on (engine
speed at less than 2000 rpm) for at least 1
minute:
Refrigerant gas has been refilled or a/c parts have
been replaced.
A long time has elapsed since the engine was
stopped.
Notice:
If the engine s ...

Hint:
Use the table below to help determine the cause of the
problem symptom. The potential causes of the symptoms
are listed in order of probability in the "suspected area"
column of the table. Check each symptom by checking the
suspected areas in the order they are listed. Re ...
