Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Engine control system malfunction
Description
If a malfunction in the engine control system is detected, the operations of vsc and trc are prohibited by the fail-safe function. When the signals from the engine are input normally, the fail-safe is canceled and the dtc is not stored.
Inspection procedure
- Check harness and connector (momentary interruption)
- Using the data list of the intelligent tester, check for any momentary interruption in the wire harness corresponding to the dtc (see page bc-23).
Ok: there are no momentary interruptions.
Hint:
Perform the above inspection before removing the sensor and connector.
- Check dtc for engine control system
- Clear the dtc (engine control system).
- Check the dtc (engine control system).
Result 
Repair engine control system
- Repair or replace harness and connector (ecm - skid control ecu)
- Reconfirm dtc
- Clear the dtc (see page bc-47).
- Perform a road test.
- Check if the same dtc is recorded (see page bc-47).
