Toyota RAV4 (XA40) 2013-2018 Service Manual: General information
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.

Internal control module random access memory (ram) error
Description
The ecm continuously monitors its own internal memory status, internal
circuits, and output signals
transmitted to the throttle actuator. This self-check ensures that the ecm is
functioning properly. If any
malfunction is detected, the ecm sets the appropriate dtc and illumina ...
Torque sensor
Description
The torque sensor converts the rotation torque input from the steering wheel
into electric signals and
sends them to the power steering ecu.

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate automatically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary
and should not be relied upon too heavily when operating
the vehicle.
