Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Different diameter tire malfunction
Description
The skid control ecu measures the speed of each wheel by receiving signals from the speed sensor.
These signals are used for recognizing that all 4 wheels are operating properly. Therefore, all wheel signals must be equal.
Inspection procedure
- Check tire size
- Check the diameter of all 4 tires.
Ok: diameter of all 4 tires are equal.
- Check speed sensor rotor
- Remove the drive shaft, and check around the speed sensor rotor.
Ok: no scratches or foreign matter on the sensor tip.
- Check speed sensor
- Check the speed sensor circuit (see page bc-64 or bc- 70).
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - each speed sensor)
- Check the speed sensor circuit (see page bc-69 or bc- 70).
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtcs (see page bc-47).
- Drive the vehicle at more than 20 km/h (12 mph) for more than 60 seconds.
- Check if the same dtcs are detected.

Ecm power source circuit
Description
When the ignition switch is turned on, the battery voltage is applied to the
igsw of the ecm. The output
signal from the mrel terminal of the ecm causes a current to flow to the coil,
closing the contacts of the
integration relay (efi main relay) and supplying power to either term ...
