Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Downhill assist control indicator light remains on
Description
When the downhill assist control switch is pushed on, the downhill assist control function is available and the downhill assist control indicator light illuminates.
Hint:
Even if the downhill assist control switch is pressed, the downhill assist control indicator light will blink and downhill assist control will not be activated under the following conditions:
- Gear position is not l or r.
- The system is malfunctioning.
- Temperature of the hydraulic brake booster increases and downhill assist control is temporarily canceled.
- The vehicle speed is 25 km/h (15 mph) or more.

Inspection procedure
Check can communication system
- Check if the can communication system dtc is output (see page ca-34).
Result 
- Check skid control ecu connector
- Check if the skid control ecu connector is securely connected.
Ok: the connector is securely connected.
- Check wire harness (skid control ecu - body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Standard resistance 
- Inspect downhill assist control switch
- Remove the downhill assist control switch.
- Measure the resistance of the switch.
Standard resistance 
- Check wire harness (control switch - skid control ecu and body ground)
- Disconnect the a19 ecu connector.
- Disconnect the e31 switch connector.
- Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
