Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: 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.
- Disconnect connectors a and c, and measure the resistance
Standard resistance (fig. 6)
Hint:
Measure the resistance while lightly shaking the wire harness vertically and horizontally.
If the results match the examples above, a short circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector a and terminal 1 of connector c.
- Disconnect connector b and measure the resistance.
Standard resistance (fig. 7)
If the results match the examples
above, a short
circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector b2
and terminal 1 of connector c.
If the results match the examples above, a short circuit exists between terminal 1 of connector b2 and terminal 1 of connector c.
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.

Check and replace ecu
Notice:
The connector should not be disconnected from
the ecu. Perform the inspection from the
backside of the connector on the wire harness
side.

Fail-safe chart
If a problem occurs in the electric power steering system, the
p/s warning light will come on in the combination meter and
steering power assist will be stopped, fixed at a particular
point, or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.
Hint:
The amount of power assist may be decreased ...
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
short in the can main wire,
between the main wire, to +b, or to gnd.
