Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Communication malfunction no. 1

Toyota RAV4. Communication malfunction no. 1


Description

This dtc is output when a communication error occurs between the transponder key amplifier and transponder key ecu. Some possible reasons for the communication error are: 1) 2 or more ignition keys are positioned too close together, or 2) noise is occurring in the communication line.

Inspection procedure

  1. Check key

Toyota RAV4. Check key


  1. Check if the ignition key being used is near other ignition keys. Also, check if the key ring is in contact with the key grip.

Result:




  1. Check for dtc

  1. Separate the keys from each other and / or remove the key ring.
  2. Clear the dtc (see page ei-18).
  3. Insert a key into the ignition key cylinder. Remove it.

    Repeat for all other keys.

  4. Check that no dtc is output.

Ok: no dtc is output.



  1. Check transponder key ecu (noise)

Toyota RAV4. Check transponder key ecu (noise)


  1. Using an oscilloscope or the intelligent tester, check for noise in the waveform between the terminals of the e5 amplifier connector and e46 ecu connector.

Ok: no noise is present (see illustration).




  1. Check wire harness (transponder key ecu - transponder key amplifier)

Toyota RAV4. Check wire harness (transponder key ecu - transponder key amplifier)


  1. Disconnect the e46 ecu connector.
  2. Disconnect the e5 amplifier connector.
  3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

Standard resistance




  1. Check transponder key amplifier (operation)

  1. Temporarily replacing the transponder key amplifier with a new or normally functioning one.
  2. Check that the engine starts normally.

Ok: engine starts.

Communication
Description When a key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder but no communication occurs between the key and transponder key ecu, dtc b2796 is output. When a key is inserted into the ig ...

Engine immobiliser system malfunction
Description This dtc is output when one of the following occurs: 1) the ecm detects errors in its own communications with the transponder key ecu; 2) the ecm detects errors in the communicat ...

Intake air temperature circuit malfunction
Description The intake air temperature (iat) sensor, mounted on the mass air flow (maf) meter, monitors the iat. The iat sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the intake air. When the iat is low, the resistance of the thermist ...

Throttle / pedal position sensor / switch "A" circuit range / performance problem
Hint: This dtc relates to the throttle position (tp) sensor. Description Refer to dtc p0120 (see page es-114). Monitor description The ecm uses the tp sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle. This sensor transmits two signals: vta1 and vta2. Vta1 is used to detect the th ...

The rear cross traffic alert function
The areas that vehicles can be detected in are outlined below. The range of the detection area extends to: Approximately 11.5 Ft. (3.5 M) from the side of the vehicle The first 1.6 Ft. (0.5 M) from the side of the vehicle is not in the detection area Approximately 9.8 Ft. (3 M) fr ...
