Toyota RAV4 Service Manual: Ecm / pcm internal engine off timer performance
Dtc summary
Description
To ensure the accuracy of the evap (evaporative emission) monitor values, the soak timer, which is built into the ecm, measures 5 hours (+-15 minutes) from when the ignition switch is turned off, before the monitor is run. This allows the fuel to cool down, which stabilizes the evap pressure. When 5 hours have elapsed, the ecm turns on.
Monitor description
5 Hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the soak timer activates the ecm to begin the evap system monitor. While the engine is running, the ecm monitors the synchronization of the soak timer and the cpu clock. If these two are not synchronized, the ecm interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the mil and sets the dtc (2 trip detection logic).

Inspection procedure
Hint:
- Dtc p2610 is set if an internal ecm problem is detected. Diagnostic
procedures are not required.
Ecm replacement is necessary.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- Replace ecm
- Replace the ecm (see page es-429).
- Check whether dtc output recurs
- Connect the intelligent tester to the dlc3.
- Turn the ignition switch on.
- Turn the tester on.
- Clear dtcs (see page es-35).
- Start the engine and wait for 10 minutes or more.
- On the tester, select the following menu items: diagnosis / enhanced obd ii / dtc info / pending codes.
- If no pending dtc is displayed, the repair has been successfully completed.

A/f sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1)
Hint:
Sensor 1 refers to the sensor mounted in front of the three-way catalytic
converter (twc) and located
near the engine assembly.

Using the mechanical key (vehicles with a smart key system)
To take out the mechanical key,
push the release button and take
the key out.
The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one side.
If the key cannot be inserted in a
lock cylinder, turn it over and reattempt
to insert it.
After using the mec ...
Steering angle sensor zero point malfunction
Description
The skid control ecu learns the steering sensor zero point every time the
ignition switch is turned on and
the vehicle is driven at 35 km/h (22 mph) or more for approximately 5 seconds.
The ecu also stores the
previous zero point.
If front wheel alignment or the steering wh ...
Stop light switch circuit
Description
While driving with the cruise control, if the ecm detects that the brake
pedal is depressed, the cruise
control operation will be canceled. The stop light switch sends brake pedal
status signals to the ecm.
When the brake pedal is not depressed, terminal st1- is equal to the ...
