A large number of ecu controlled systems are used in the rav4. In general, ecu controlled systems are considered to be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical knowledge to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking procedures only involve inspecting the ecu controlled system's circuits one by one. An adequate understanding of the system and a basic knowledge of electricity is enough to perform effective troubleshooting, accurate diagnoses and necessary repairs.
For using intelligent tester

Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the dlc3, turn the ignition switch on and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
* If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the dlc3 of the original vehicle.
* If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the service department listed in the tester's instruction manual.
Diagnosis system
Check dlc3
Check the dlc3:
the power steering ecu uses can (iso11898-1)
and iso9141-2 for communication protocol. The
terminal arrangement of the dlc3 complies with
sae j1962 and matches the iso9141-2 format.
Notice:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle ...
Lost communication with front passenger side - side airbag sensor assembly
Description
The side airbag sensor rh consists of parts including the diagnostic circuit
and the lateral deceleration
sensor.
When the center airbag sensor receives signals from the lateral deceleration
sensor, it determines
whether or not the srs should be activated.

Freeze frame data
Freeze frame data
Hint:
Whenever a dtc is detected or the abs operates,
the skid control ecu stores the current vehicle
(sensor) state as freeze frame data.
The skid control ecu stores the number of times
(maximum: 31) the ignition switch has been turned
from off to on since the ...
