Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: Fail-safe chart
- Fail-safe chart
This function minimizes the loss of the ect functions when a malfunction occurs in a sensor or solenoid.
- Automatic transmission fluid (atf) temperature sensor: when the atf temperature sensor has a malfunction, o/d up-shift is prohibited
- Counter gear speed sensor nc (speed sensor nc): when the counter gear speed sensor has a malfunction, o/d up-shift is prohibited.
- Shift solenoid valve dsl:
when the solenoid valve dsl has a malfunction, the
current to the solenoid valve is stopped.
This stops lock-up control, then fuel economy decreases.
- Shift solenoid valve sl1, sl2 and s4:
if any of the shift solenoid valve circuits develops an
open or short, the ecm turns the other shift solenoid
"on" and "off" in order to shift into the gear
positions shown in the table below.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done. In case of a short circuit, the ecm stops sending the current to the short circuited solenoid.
Even if starting the engine in the fail-safe mode, the gear position remains in the same position.

Check mode procedure
Description
Check mode has a higher sensitivity to malfunctions
and can detect malfunctions that normal mode
cannot detect. Check mode can also detect all the
malfunctions that normal m ...
Data list / active test
Read data list
Hint:
Using the intelligent tester's data list allows switch,
sensor, actuator, and other item values to be read
without removing any parts. Reading the data list
early in tro ...

Active test
Hint:
Performing an active test enables components
including the relays, vsv (vacuum switching valve) and
actuators, to be operated without removing any parts.
The active test can be performed with the intelligent
tester. Performing the active test as the first step of
troubleshooting is one ...
Coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat regulating
temperature)
Hint:
This dtc relates to the thermostat.
Description
This dtc is set when the engine coolant temperature (ect) does not reach 75°c
(167°f) despite
sufficient engine warm-up time having elapsed.
Monitor description
The ecm estimates the ect based on the starting temperature, en ...
How to proceed with troubleshooting
Hint:
Use these procedures to troubleshoot the vehicle stability
control system.
*: Use the intelligent tester.
